Who is responsible for cleaning outdoor debris?« Back to Previous Page

When it comes to cleaning outdoor debris like the fine sand that settled on your window sills after the dust storm, the responsibility can be a bit ambiguous. In Dubai and the UAE, there isn't always a clear cut guideline for this specific situation. However, based on common practices and local regulations, tenants are typically responsible for maintaining their own living spaces.

In many cases, it's reasonable to expect you to clean up outdoor debris such as sand or dust from your windowsills, balconies, or any other areas that might be affected by external elements. This is especially true if the maintenance staff has already been informed and there have been no immediate responses for cleaning these areas.

However, it’s important to establish clear communication with your landlord about this matter. You can bring up the situation in a polite manner, asking whether such debris should be cleaned by you or if it falls under the maintenance team's responsibilities. If there are no specific terms defined within your lease agreement, it may be best to set an expectation for both parties.

If after communication with your landlord, issues persist, you might consider consulting local building and environmental regulations. In Dubai, the Municipality often has guidelines that can provide insight into property maintenance responsibilities. For serious cases or if you find yourself dealing with recurring issues, a professional inspection could be beneficial to ensure everything is in compliance.
