Who cleans after rain damage in a rental?« Back to Previous Page

In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, it's generally the responsibility of the landlord to maintain the property and ensure that it is clean and habitable. After a rain event, which can bring about desert dust settling, it falls on the landlord or their appointed maintenance team to handle the cleaning tasks.

However, if you're renting under an agreement that specifies your responsibilities, then it might be outlined that you are in charge of such cleaning after rainfall. It's always wise to review your rental contract for specifics. If not stated, consider discussing with your landlord about who is responsible for this task.

The fine yellowish dust you've noticed can be a common occurrence post-rainfall, especially as desert winds often bring in sand and dust. This build-up on furniture and window sills can also affect the AC filter, leading to reduced efficiency or even damage over time. Regular cleaning is recommended to prevent these issues.

In serious cases where the dust buildup is persistent or if you suspect it's more than just normal post-rain dust (like if it's accompanied by mold growth), a professional inspection might be warranted. The UAE has specific building codes and regulations that ensure indoor environmental quality, but dealing with desert dust can sometimes exceed standard maintenance.

For expert advice or to schedule cleaning services, you could call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com. These professionals have the tools and expertise to address not only the dust issue but any associated problems that might arise from it.

Remember, keeping your living space clean is crucial for maintaining good indoor air quality, which can impact your health and comfort in Dubai’s unique climate conditions. Regular upkeep, especially after rain events, will help ensure a healthier environment for you and your family.
