Should landlord fix ceiling water stains?« Back to Previous Page

When it comes to ceiling water stains due to heavy rains, the responsibility of addressing them can be a bit murky. In Dubai and UAE, there are no specific laws mandating that landlords handle such issues unless they arise from the landlord's negligence or failure to maintain the property in accordance with local building codes and regulations.

However, considering the situation you've described, it would be wise for you to contact your landlord immediately to discuss the water stains. You might want to send a formal notice outlining the issue and requesting that necessary repairs are made as soon as possible. Make sure to document this communication through emails or text messages for future reference.

If after giving your landlord a chance to address the issue, no action is taken, you could consider hiring a professional environmental inspection company like ours at Saniservice. We can offer a detailed assessment of the damage and recommend appropriate cleaning methods or even structural repairs if needed. Remember, water stains in ceilings can indicate more serious issues such as mold growth which can pose health risks.
