Are tenants usually responsible for indoor air issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy smoke from a nearby construction site lasted for days last month, I've noticed a persistent haze in my living room even after opening the windows. The AC seems to be pulling in more air than it's filtering out. Have tenants typically been responsible for indoor air quality issues like this in Dubai rentals?

Indoor air issues can be complex and often require a multifaceted approach. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, tenants might experience poor indoor air quality due to various factors including nearby construction sites, as you've encountered. However, it's not typically the tenant's responsibility to resolve such issues under most rental agreements.
The Emirati government has strict regulations regarding environmental standards for buildings and rentals, but these usually pertain more to building compliance during the construction phase rather than day-to-day maintenance or immediate air quality concerns after occupancy. For instance, UAE laws like the Federal Law No. 15 of 2018 on the Building Code require developers to ensure indoor air quality meets certain standards. In cases where a tenant encounters persistent issues post-occupancy, such as haze from nearby construction or other pollutants, it's advisable to first report the issue to the landlord or property manager. Many rental agreements in Dubai do stipulate that landlords are responsible for maintaining the premises in good condition and addressing any defects that arise after move-in. However, if the problem persists despite reporting and no action is taken, a professional indoor air quality inspection might be necessary. This can help determine the exact source of the issue and recommend appropriate remediation steps. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are well-equipped to conduct such inspections and offer solutions ranging from air filtration systems to long-term ventilation improvements. Remember, your health and comfort should not be compromised due to poor indoor air quality. If you're experiencing ongoing issues, don't hesitate to reach out for professional help.
