Who cleans dust from curtains and fans in a rental?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms last month, I noticed a significant amount of dust collecting behind the curtains and on the ceiling fans in my living room. Given that it’s a rental apartment, I’m unsure about who is responsible for cleaning these areas. Who typically handles this kind of task in such spaces?

Cleaning dust from curtains and ceiling fans can be quite an undertaking, especially after such dusty storms. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it's generally a shared responsibility between landlord and tenant regarding maintenance of living areas.
Typically, landlords or property managers are responsible for maintaining common areas like hallways and communal spaces. For your personal living room, however, you would usually be expected to handle these tasks as part of your daily upkeep. If the curtains and fans are in your private area of the rental unit, it's best practice for you to take care of their cleaning. That said, if you're unsure or have concerns about who should cover this expense or effort, it’s advisable to refer to your lease agreement. Many leases in Dubai specify what tasks tenants and landlords are responsible for. If there isn't a clear stipulation, you might need to discuss the matter with your landlord or property manager. In case of persistent issues like heavy dust storms that make cleaning more frequent or challenging, consider getting professional environmental inspections from companies such as Saniservice. Their expertise can provide peace of mind and ensure your living environment is safe and healthy. Remember, while maintaining cleanliness in your rental space is a good practice, it's also important to keep an eye on the overall indoor air quality. If dust becomes a recurring issue or if you notice any unusual odors or mold growth, don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS for professional assistance and advice. Always prioritize your health and well-being; a clean living environment is crucial in such climates. |
