Are tenants responsible for AC unit cleaning?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm a few weeks ago, I’ve noticed an unusually high amount of dust settling on everything in my bedroom, even with regular cleaning. The AC unit in particular seems to be trapping more dirt than usual, which is concerning given the rental agreement. Are tenants responsible for cleaning out the AC units or should this be handled by the landlord?

Hey there,
So tenants and landlords in the UAE, including Dubai, have different responsibilities regarding AC units. Typically, the landlord is responsible for maintaining and cleaning the AC systems to ensure they are functioning properly and efficiently. This generally includes tasks like removing dust from the indoor units and filters, as well as servicing the outdoor unit. However, it's not uncommon for rental agreements to specify that tenants need to clean certain parts of the AC system, such as the air filters, between maintenance visits by the landlord or service provider. The air filters are usually accessible inside the bedroom and can be changed on a monthly basis, so this is more within your reach. If you've noticed an unusually high amount of dust settling in your room after the recent storm, it might be worth checking if your rental agreement covers such issues. If not, it's always good practice to communicate with your landlord about these concerns. They may need to inspect the AC system for any damage or blockages caused by the storm. In case you're unsure of what's required or if you're experiencing persistent issues that aren't resolving with regular cleaning efforts, I'd recommend having a professional inspection done.
