Who is responsible for cleaning sandstorm residue?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent sandstorms, I’ve noticed a layer of fine dust settling on everything in my living room, even though I haven’t opened the windows. It’s starting to build up on the furniture and it feels like it might be affecting my allergies. Are tenants expected to clean this residue ourselves or is it part of the maintenance provided by the landlord?

Cleaning sandstorm residue can be a significant task especially considering the fine particulate matter that can settle quickly. In Dubai and the UAE, tenants are generally expected to handle routine cleaning of their living spaces. However, when it comes to the aftermath of sandstorms, it is often part of the landlord's responsibility to ensure that common areas and communal spaces are cleaned appropriately. This not only maintains a good living environment but also ensures tenant comfort.
In many lease agreements, there might be clauses specifying responsibilities during such conditions. If your lease does not explicitly mention this, it’s best to communicate with your landlord about your concerns regarding the dust accumulation in your apartment. You could suggest scheduling a professional cleaning service to address both communal and personal areas to ensure thoroughness. If you find that the situation is affecting your health significantly or if the sandstorm residue continues to build up despite regular cleaning, it would be prudent to request a formal inspection from a professional environmental service provider. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice (you can contact them on 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) offer comprehensive indoor air quality assessments and cleaning services tailored for such situations. Remember that maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially during times of high pollution levels. Regular cleaning combined with using air purifiers can significantly help reduce the impact of sandstorm residue on your living environment. Don't hesitate to take proactive steps towards improving the air quality in your home; after all, it's a key factor for your health and well-being. Always keep an eye out for any unusual changes in your surroundings and reach out for professional assistance if needed. |
