Who cleans after a dust storm in a rental space?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a layer of fine dust on top of all the shelves and furniture in my coworking space. It’s really concerning because it’s not clear if this is something I should be cleaning or if my landlord is responsible for maintaining that area. Where exactly does the responsibility lie in a rental space like mine?

Who cleans after a dust storm in a rental space? This is indeed an important question and one that many coworking space users often wonder about. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, there are certain guidelines and practices to consider when it comes to cleaning responsibilities.
In general, you are responsible for maintaining your personal work area within a shared workspace like a coworking space. This includes cleaning any surfaces and equipment you regularly use or own. So yes, after the recent dust storm, it would be advisable for you to clean the shelves and furniture in your designated workspace. You should use a soft cloth or feather duster to gently remove the fine dust layer. However, if the dust storm was severe, it might be worth checking with your landlord about any additional cleaning required for common areas that you don't regularly access. According to the Real Estate Agency Regulations (No 13 of 2018) in Dubai, landlords are responsible for maintaining and repairing common areas such as corridors, lobbies, elevators, and other communal spaces. If the dust is excessive or you're unsure about the extent of cleaning required, it might be a good idea to consult with an expert.
