Who cleans after dust storms in rentals?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the dust storm that hit Dubai last week, I’ve noticed a layer of fine sand settling on my balcony furniture and even in some corners of the living room. It’s been a bit overwhelming trying to decide if this is something I should be cleaning up or if it falls under the landlord's responsibility since we’re still within our first year here. Have any of you dealt with similar dust storms, and what are your experiences regarding who takes care of post-storm clean-up in rentals?

Hello there! Dust storms sure can be pesky little nuisances, especially for residents like yourselves. In Dubai and the UAE, post-dust storm clean-ups are a common occurrence. Typically, the responsibility of cleaning after such events lies with the tenant or landlord depending on what is stated in your rental agreement.
If you're within your first year, it's common to see fine sand settling everywhere—much like what you've noticed on your balcony furniture and even inside your living room! It’s understandable that this can be overwhelming. However, it usually falls under your care for the clean-up unless explicitly mentioned otherwise in your contract. Now, regarding who is responsible - typically landlords are expected to maintain the property's cleanliness and condition while tenants are required to keep their living spaces tidy. If there's a clause stating that the landlord should handle such situations or if you have any worries about the structural integrity of the building after a dust storm, contacting your landlord for guidance would be wise. If the dust has caused significant damage or poses health hazards like mold growth, it might be time to call in some professionals. At Saniservice, we offer professional environmental inspections and remediation services if you find that the dust storm has left behind more than just a layer of sand. Our team can assess the situation and provide necessary recommendations. Remember, keeping your living space clean is key for both comfort and health reasons, but it's always better to be safe rather than sorry when dealing with environmental concerns after storms. If you have any doubts or need further advice, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. Hope this helps! |
