Should landlords clean ducts regularly?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell coming from the ducts in our living room. My landlord hasn’t mentioned anything about cleaning them despite our apartment being over two years old now. Is it common practice for landlords to handle duct cleaning or should I bring this up with them?

In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, duct cleaning isn't typically a mandated practice by law. However, it is definitely something that should be considered for properties where you've noticed issues like persistent damp smells or other concerns related to air quality.
Landlords often have different maintenance schedules and priorities. While regular duct cleaning might not always be part of their routine tasks, it's important to bring up your observations with them.
