Indoor air quality in your bathroom is indeed the landlord's responsibility. According to UAE laws and regulations, landlords are obligated to maintain a safe and healthy living environment for tenants. In Dubai specifically, this includes ensuring that the air within the premises is free from harmful pollutants and contaminants.

The Emirate of Dubai has several guidelines under its Building Control Department and Health Authority -Dubai (HAD) that regulate indoor air quality standards. These regulations cover various aspects such as ventilation systems, humidity control, and prevention of mold growth—issues often present in bathrooms due to high moisture levels.

If you're noticing issues with the bathroom's air quality, it would be prudent to bring this matter to your landlord’s attention first. You can do so by drafting a formal complaint or discussion letter outlining the specific concerns and requesting immediate action. If no improvement is seen after reasonable notice, you might want to consider having an independent professional inspection done.

Remember, poor indoor air quality in bathrooms can lead to various health issues like respiratory problems and allergies. A professional inspection from a company like Saniservice can help identify the root cause of the problem and provide solutions ranging from simple repairs to more extensive renovations.
