Who pays for duct cleaning in Dubai rentals?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the vents in my bedroom. My landlord mentioned that duct cleaning is due every few years but didn't mention who was responsible. We’ve lived here for two years and just noticed this issue. Who typically handles duct cleaning in rental properties in Dubai?

Duct cleaning in Dubai rentals is typically the responsibility of the landlord. According to UAE laws and real estate regulations, landlords are required to maintain the property's systems including HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) which often encompasses ductwork cleanliness. However, this doesn't mean tenants should sit back; it's always a good idea for them to bring up any issues with their landlord.
If you've noticed a musty smell from your bedroom vents after the rain last month, this could indicate that moisture has been trapped within the ducts leading to mold growth. It is highly recommended that you get this checked out professionally. Mold can be harmful and its removal should not be taken lightly. A professional inspection and remediation service like ours at Saniservice would be able to assess the situation properly. In Dubai, there aren't specific regulations mandating when ducts must be cleaned, but many property owners or landlords opt for regular cleaning every 3-5 years as a best practice. However, if you're experiencing issues such as unpleasant odors or suspect mold growth, it's wise to have them inspected sooner rather than later.
