Who pays for duct cleaning in a rental property?« Back to Previous Page

Duct cleaning in a rental property can be a tricky one and often depends on the terms of your lease agreement. Generally speaking though, it's advisable to have ducts cleaned every 3-5 years as part of regular maintenance. However, in your case where there was a heavy dust storm recently causing debris accumulation, you might want to consider this an unusual situation warranting immediate attention.

In the UAE and specifically Dubai, there aren't strict laws mandating when or who should be responsible for duct cleaning. Typically, standard maintenance is handled by the landlord unless stated otherwise in your rental agreement. However, if the ducts are causing health issues or serious discomfort, it might be necessary to address this with the landlord.

If you're unsure about the terms of your lease regarding maintenance or if you believe the condition of your ducts requires immediate attention due to the recent dust storm, i would recommend reaching out to your landlord. You can present the situation as an urgent concern and request that they cover the cost of cleaning. If this doesn't resolve it, consider calling in a professional for inspection before taking any further steps. They might be able to provide a detailed assessment and advice on whether immediate action is necessary.

In Dubai, many companies offer duct cleaning services, so you could also look into getting quotes from different providers to see what's covered under their maintenance plans or if they can offer any discounts as it’s an unusual situation.

Remember, regular maintenance goes beyond just the ducts; air quality in your home is crucial, especially given the sand and dust conditions we experience here.
