Are regular deep cleans included in Dubai rentals?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy snowfall last winter, I noticed a greyish dust on my bedroom windowsills that seemed different from usual. The place is a rental, and I’m unsure if it’s part of cleaning duties or if I should be more proactive about dusting and wiping down surfaces. Given the age-related forgetfulness among the elderly living next door, could someone advise if regular deep cleans are expected as part of renting in Dubai, or is keeping common areas tidy sufficient?

Hey there,

Regular deep cleans included in Dubai rentals really depend on the terms of your rental agreement. In many cases, landlords expect tenants to keep common areas tidy and clean, but they may specify that regular maintenance like deep cleaning is not part of the renter's responsibilities. The UAE doesn't have a specific law mandating deep cleans for tenants, so it's best to check your lease or speak with your landlord.

In Dubai, elderly folks living next door might be dealing with age-related forgetfulness which could mean their cleaning habits aren’t as rigorous as before. However, this is purely personal and does not dictate the expectations of other tenants or landlords in terms of cleanliness standards.

If you're unsure about what's expected, it’s best to have an open conversation with your landlord. They can provide clarity on whether they expect regular deep cleans or just keeping common areas tidy. Sometimes, maintaining good communication with your neighbors is helpful too, especially if there are shared spaces where both parties need to ensure cleanliness.

If you notice a greyish dust on your windowsills after the snowfall, it might be worth asking for permission before proceeding. Dust from outside can enter through open windows or doors, and it’s important to respect your neighbor's privacy and living conditions as well.

Should you decide to take matters into your own hands, remember that proper cleaning techniques are essential to maintain a healthy indoor environment. Use products recommended by local experts and follow safety guidelines to avoid any potential issues.

If the dust accumulation or other concerns become serious, consider calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for professional inspection and remediation services.

Hope this helps!
