Who is responsible for balcony cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning the balcony during Ramadan or any other time is usually considered part of the tenant's responsibility when it comes to rental properties. In Dubai and the UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating what a landlord or tenant should clean. The onus generally lies with the tenant for maintaining cleanliness in common areas such as balconies, especially if they are used regularly.

However, it is always best practice to have a clear understanding of your obligations before moving into any rental property. Check your lease agreement or ask your landlord about their expectations regarding cleaning and maintenance responsibilities. If you're unsure, it's not uncommon for landlords to provide guidelines on basic upkeep like balcony cleaning.

If the condition of your balcony has deteriorated due to rain, it might be prudent to inform your landlord. They may appreciate being informed so they can address any underlying issues that caused the water damage or dust settling. In serious cases where mold, pests, or significant structural concerns are present, professional inspection and remediation services should be considered.

Should you decide to clean the balcony yourself, take safety precautions—especially if you’re working at a height. Use appropriate cleaning products that won’t harm surfaces like concrete or tiles. Make sure to also clear any debris from below before starting your work, as this can pose a tripping hazard.
