Who cleans dust from air vents?« Back to Previous Page

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it is generally the responsibility of the landlord to ensure that the rental property maintains its cleanliness and functionality. This includes regular maintenance tasks such as cleaning dust from air vents. However, the specifics can often depend on what's written within your lease agreement.

Typically, landlords are expected to keep common areas clean but might not always take care of private spaces or specific issues like dust buildup in your bedroom unless it is a term agreed upon in the contract. If the rental agreement is vague about who should handle such tasks, it’s wise to reach out directly to your landlord to clarify responsibilities.

In my experience, many landlords prefer that tenants address minor maintenance issues themselves as long as they are not too complex or extensive. This way, you can ensure that these areas stay clean and functioning properly. However, if the dust accumulation is significant or potentially harmful, it might be prudent to get a professional inspection first. Saniservice, for instance, offers comprehensive indoor environmental quality assessments which can help determine whether the situation requires urgent attention.

Remember, regular cleaning of air vents is crucial for maintaining good indoor air quality and ensuring your home operates efficiently. You could consider setting up a schedule with your landlord or even asking them to include this in their maintenance plan going forward. This way, both parties are aware of what’s expected and can work together to keep the living space clean and healthy.

If you do find that dust is accumulating frequently despite your efforts, it might be time to bring it up during a property inspection. These inspections not only help identify potential issues but also provide a platform for discussing ongoing maintenance needs with your landlord. Keep records of any conversations or agreements made during these discussions as they can serve as references in the future.
