Are dust storms my cleaning responsibility?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms last month, I noticed a layer of fine grit on the shelves in my coworking space area. My landlord mentioned that only common areas are cleaned, but the walls and furniture in our personal spaces like this are supposed to be maintained by tenants. How do I know if cleaning my coworking space is within my responsibilities?

Hello there! The question about dust storms and your cleaning responsibilities is quite pertinent for any coworking space user in the UAE. In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, after a severe weather event like the ones we've experienced recently, it's important to understand who bears what responsibility.
Firstly, according to the Building Maintenance Code (BMC) of the UAE, which is enforced by the municipality, common areas such as lobbies, hallways, and restrooms are typically cleaned and maintained by the landlord. However, when it comes to personal spaces like your workspace in a coworking area, these fall under the maintenance duties of the tenant. You mentioned noticing a layer of fine grit on your shelves after the dust storm. This is indeed within your responsibilities as a tenant according to the standard rental agreement in Dubai and the UAE. It's advisable to clean these areas regularly to maintain hygiene and comfort for you and your colleagues. However, if you find that the cleaning standards are not up to par or if the grit layer seems too thick to be managed by yourself, it might be wise to contact a professional cleaning service. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can provide thorough cleaning solutions that cater specifically to coworking spaces. Their services ensure that even hard-to-reach areas and delicate furniture are properly maintained. Remember, maintaining good indoor environmental quality is crucial for the health of all tenants in your space. If you feel that the dust or grit could pose a health risk or if it's affecting your work efficiency significantly, don't hesitate to reach out for professional help. You can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information. Lastly, regular cleaning and maintenance of personal spaces not only enhance the aesthetics but also contribute positively to the overall indoor environment quality in your coworking space. By taking proactive measures, you ensure a healthier and more productive workspace for everyone. Take care of these details now before they turn into bigger issues later on. |
