Absolutely, the issue of cleaning allergies in your bathroom could be a matter worth addressing. In the UAE, including Dubai, landlords are typically responsible for maintaining the overall cleanliness and safety of rented properties. This includes ensuring that common areas like bathrooms are kept clean to minimize health risks such as allergies.
If you're experiencing allergy issues due to poor bathroom hygiene, it's advisable to first approach your landlord or property manager politely and explain the situation. Many times, a simple conversation can lead to swift action. However, if no resolution is achieved or if the problem persists despite communication with your landlord, it might be time to take further steps. Under UAE law, tenants have certain rights which include the right to live in a safe and healthy environment. If you suspect that allergies are caused by neglectful cleaning practices, consider requesting an inspection from a professional environmental services company like ours at 800-MOLDS or email us at hello@saniservice.com. We can provide a detailed report on the state of cleanliness and suggest necessary remedial actions. Remember to keep records of any correspondence with your landlord and maintain a log of when you first noticed the issue and any subsequent communications. This documentation could be useful if further action becomes necessary. In some cases, depending on the severity or persistence of the problem, involving a legal advisor might be prudent. They can provide guidance based on local laws and regulations to ensure that your rights are protected. Always aim for a cooperative resolution with your landlord as maintaining good relations is beneficial in the long run. However, if you feel that your health is at risk due to unsanitary conditions, it's crucial to take proactive steps to address the issue. |
