Who pays for duct cleaning in Dubai rentals?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense dust storm we had last month, I noticed a lot of dirt accumulating in the vents of our living room. My landlord mentioned he takes care of maintenance, but I’m not sure if duct cleaning is included. The kids have been coughing more than usual lately and I suspect it might be due to poor air quality. Does anyone know what typically covers duct cleaning costs in Dubai rentals?

In dubai rentals, it's not always clear who foots the bill for duct cleaning. It can depend greatly upon the specifics of your rental agreement and local norms which are sometimes not very standardized. Some landlords might include this as part of regular maintenance, but many do not.

Typically, you should check your lease agreement to see if there is a clause mentioning duct cleaning or general ventilation system maintenance. If it isn't covered under your contract, you may want to have a chat with your landlord about including it in future maintenance plans, especially given the recent dust storm and its impact on indoor air quality.

Professional inspection of your ducts can help identify any issues that might be affecting your family's health, like increased coughing. In serious cases, such as when there are visible dirt accumulations or respiratory symptoms among residents, a professional inspection is highly recommended. This will ensure that the cleaning process addresses all potential problems and leaves your air quality in tip-top shape.

If you're concerned about costs, consider reaching out to local companies like Saniservice. They offer competitive rates for duct cleaning services and can provide you with an estimate based on the current state of your system. Their contact info is 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com - give them a call if you think it might be time for some professional help.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for everyone's health, especially in such weather conditions as those we experienced recently. Don't hesitate to take proactive steps to ensure your family breathes clean and healthy air.
