Should I report water stains to landlord?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely important to address water stains in your rental property. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it's crucial to ensure that any moisture issues are promptly reported and addressed. The condition of a building can significantly impact indoor air quality, which is why it’s essential to act on such situations.

First off, the UAE has several guidelines regarding property maintenance. For instance, Article 207 of the Federal Law No. 19 of 1985 (the Civil Code) states that tenants must maintain the rented premises in a state fit for habitation during their tenancy and return it to such condition at the end of their lease term. However, if the water stains are due to a leaking pipe or other structural issue, this would likely be the landlord's responsibility.

Given your situation, the best course of action is to report the water stains immediately. Reach out to your landlord or property manager and provide them with detailed information about the location and extent of the damage. It’s also advisable to take photos as evidence. If possible, document any discussions you have regarding this matter in writing to avoid misunderstandings.
