Is landlord responsible for construction dust?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, your landlord has the responsibility to maintain a safe and healthy living environment for you. In Dubai and the UAE, there are specific regulations that dictate what landlords must do to keep their properties up to standard. The real estate laws here generally stipulate that the landlord is responsible for maintaining the property in good condition and addressing any issues that may arise.

When it comes to construction dust, this can be a serious concern as it not only affects your health but also damages surfaces within the apartment. If you've noticed construction dust accumulating in your bathroom, it's wise to bring this matter to your landlord’s attention immediately. However, before you do, ensure you have documented evidence of the issue - take pictures or notes about when and where the dust was first noticed.

If your landlord does not respond adequately or refuse to address the problem, there are steps you can take. You could consider contacting local authorities for guidance on tenant rights in Dubai. The Municipality of Dubai provides services that help resolve such disputes by offering mediation between tenants and landlords.

Another option is seeking assistance from professional environmental inspection companies like Saniservice, who can offer a detailed assessment of the dust levels and provide advice on necessary actions. Remember, they might recommend remedial measures to clean up the dust safely without causing further damage to your apartment.

In serious cases or if you feel that your health is at risk due to prolonged exposure to construction dust, don’t hesitate to call 800-MOLDS for immediate assistance. This service can help you understand what steps need to be taken and ensure they are done correctly.

Ultimately, it's important to communicate clearly with your landlord about the issue and set an agreement on how to resolve it. Keep in mind that maintaining a clean living environment is part of both parties' responsibilities under UAE law, so working together could lead to a quicker resolution.

If you're not sure what to do or need more guidance, don't hesitate to reach out for professional help. Saniservice can provide the necessary expertise and support to ensure your apartment remains safe and healthy.
