Are duct cleaning responsibilities of landlords?« Back to Previous Page

Duct cleaning isn’t typically included under the standard maintenance responsibilities of landlords in Dubai and the UAE. It's important to know that according to the Building Code Regulations (BS 1028) which are applicable here, regular duct inspection and cleaning is recommended for maintaining indoor air quality, especially after significant events such as dust storms.

In your situation where there's a visible layer of debris around the vents in your bedroom, it might be wise to bring this up with your landlord. However, it’s also good to check if their lease agreement specifies any maintenance tasks or responsibilities you both need to address. If not mentioned and no action has been taken by them for two years, it could be a sign that they aren’t proactive about maintaining the HVAC system.

I’d recommend reaching out to your landlord first with a polite request for duct cleaning services. If there's no response or if the issue persists, you might consider contacting an independent professional company like ours at Saniservice to conduct an inspection and cleaning service. They can provide a detailed assessment of the condition of your ducts and ensure that they’re clean and free from allergens.

Remember, regular maintenance is crucial in maintaining good indoor air quality. In Dubai, we often experience sandstorms which can deposit a lot of dust in our homes, making it even more important to have your ducts cleaned periodically.
