Are sand and grime from storms my landlord's responsibility?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, based on the UAE regulations and norms, it's your landlord’s responsibility to keep common areas clean. However, personal spaces like living rooms and balconies are typically considered private properties under tenant agreements. This means that while your landlord should maintain cleanliness in shared or communal areas, dust and grime from storms can be managed by you as part of regular maintenance.

In Dubai, it's customary for landlords to keep public zones clean but they usually don’t extend this service to individual units unless specifically stated otherwise in the lease agreement. If your living room and balcony are considered private, you might have to handle the cleaning yourself after a storm.

If the situation is severe or if you believe the grime could pose health risks, it's wise to get an inspection done by professionals. At Saniservice.com, we recommend calling us at 800-MOLDS for a thorough assessment and remediation if necessary. Our experts can also provide cleaning tips and products that are suitable for your specific environment.

Remember, regular cleaning is key to maintaining indoor environmental quality. Using microfiber cloths or vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters can help reduce the amount of dust and fine particles inhaled indoors. Also, ensure proper ventilation after a storm to clear out any lingering dust and moisture.

If you're unsure about what's included in your lease agreement or if cleaning seems overwhelming, don't hesitate to reach out to us for guidance. We're here to support you and ensure your indoor environment is as healthy as possible!
