Who is responsible for cleaning dust storms in a rental?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last week, I noticed a significant amount of dust on the ceiling fans and window blinds in the living room. Given that we live in a rental unit and have been here for over two years, I’m unsure if it’s my responsibility to clean these areas or if maintenance is supposed to take care of it. Can anyone advise on what’s typical practice for multi-zone cleaning in rentals?

Cleaning after dust storms can indeed be quite the task. In dubai/uae rentals, it is generally considered a shared responsibility between landlord and tenant, but specifics can vary. Typically, tenants are responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of common areas like living rooms while landlords handle maintenance on shared facilities.
In your case, given that you mentioned dust on ceiling fans and window blinds in the living room, which are typically within the purview of a tenant's responsibility, it would be wise to clean them yourself. However, if these issues persist or become overwhelming, consider reaching out to your landlord for guidance as per the terms of your lease agreement. UAE regulations generally aim to ensure fair practices between landlords and tenants. The Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) oversees such matters and can provide guidelines if there's a dispute over maintenance responsibilities. Make sure you review your rental contract to see what is expected of both parties concerning cleanliness and maintenance. If the dust issue is serious or frequent, it might be worthwhile to have an inspection done by a professional service like Saniservice who can assess the situation and offer recommendations for effective cleaning practices that adhere to local standards. Remember to keep good communication with your landlord and document any repeated issues, as this can help in resolving such matters.
