Do dust storms affect rental cleaning duties?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had a few weeks ago, I noticed a layer of fine dust on all the surfaces in the kids' room. It's a bit concerning because it’s directly across from the living area where we spend most of our time. The rental agreement mentions that cleaning is shared between tenants, but I’m not sure if this falls under their responsibilities or mine. Could someone advise on what typically includes childcare cleaning duties in such a situation?

Dust storms can indeed have a significant impact on the indoor environment and cleanliness in rental spaces. In dubai, we often experience such weather phenomena which can lead to an accumulation of dust and particulates that may affect the health and comfort of children and adults alike.
In terms of your specific query about cleaning duties, it's important to understand local regulations. The UAE, including Dubai, doesn't have a universal set of laws dictating exactly what constitutes standard cleaning duties in rental agreements. However, most contracts will likely refer to 'reasonable' or 'customary' maintenance and cleaning. These are generally left for interpretation by the landlord and tenant. In your case, with dust storms leaving a fine layer on all surfaces in the kids’ room, it’s reasonable to expect that this would be considered part of regular cleaning responsibilities. If you're unsure about whether it falls under shared duties or if it's something you should address, it might be wise to reach out to your landlord for clarification. Typically, childcare areas require thorough cleaning and maintenance more frequently than other parts of the home given their high traffic and potential allergens. Regular vacuuming with a HEPA filter, dusting surfaces regularly, and washing toys and bedding are key steps in keeping such spaces clean and safe. Should you find that the dust is affecting your health or if it's causing significant discomfort to your children, I'd recommend calling for professional inspection services like 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They can help assess the situation and provide appropriate remediation measures. Remember, keeping these spaces clean not only improves air quality but also helps in maintaining a healthy environment for kids who are more susceptible to respiratory issues. Regular cleaning is key, so don't hesitate to take action if needed. |
