I'm renting an apartment and noticed cleaning restaurants in the bathroom. Is this the landlord's responsibility to fix? I'm not sure what my rights are here.

Cleaning restaurants is generally the responsibility of the business operating within, which means it’s usually not covered by insurance. However, if you're experiencing issues like cleanliness in your apartment's bathroom due to a restaurant above or adjacent to it, this falls under your landlord's maintenance responsibilities.
In Dubai and other parts of UAE, there are specific regulations regarding environmental quality that landlords must adhere to. The Building Code and the Health & Safety Regulations outline standards for both residential and commercial properties. For instance, Article 12 of the Dubai Municipality's Building Code requires owners to ensure their property is in a clean and hygienic state. If you notice persistent problems with cleaning in shared spaces like bathrooms, it’s advisable to bring this to your landlord's attention. If the issue isn't resolved after speaking with the landlord or manager, engaging a professional environmental inspection company could be the next step. This can help verify if there are any compliance issues and what corrective actions need to be taken. Saniservice, for example, provides such services and their contact details are 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. Remember though, your primary concern should be the cleanliness of your own apartment space, not the business operations above you unless it affects your living conditions directly. Make sure to document any issues with photographs or notes for a clearer case when speaking to the landlord or a professional. Cleaning restaurants can indeed cause hygiene concerns, but ensure that they are following proper procedures and regulations set by local authorities. If the problem persists, seeking expert advice is definitely worth considering. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for further assistance if needed. |
