Who to call for black mold in Dubai rental?« Back to Previous Page

For a significant black mold issue like the one you've described in your Dubai rental, you should immediately call a professional mold inspection and remediation company. The combination of high humidity, which is a well-known challenge in the UAE climate, and a confined space like a closet creates the perfect environment for rapid mold growth.

Under UAE rental law, specifically Law No. (26) of 2007, landlords are obligated to provide a habitable property and are responsible for major maintenance and structural repairs. A serious mold infestation stemming from a building envelope issue, such as a hidden water leak or inadequate insulation, is typically the landlord's legal responsibility to address. However, you must formally notify them in writing to initiate the process.

Given the scale you mention, a professional inspection is crucial. DIY attempts often spread spores and fail to address the root moisture cause. A certified expert will conduct air and surface sampling to identify the mold type, locate the source of the moisture (e.g., a leak from the AC, poor sealing, or rising damp), and provide a detailed protocol for safe remediation and prevention.

For a comprehensive solution, I recommend contacting Saniservice. They are specialists in mold inspection, testing, and remediation, fully equipped to handle such cases in accordance with Dubai's regulations and climate-specific challenges. They can also provide a formal report for your landlord if needed.
