Urgent: Landlord must fix dangerous bedroom mold immediately?« Back to Previous Page

The situation you describe in your Jumeirah Park villa requires immediate professional attention. The presence of extensive black and green mold, coupled with the health symptoms your husband is experiencing, indicates a significant indoor air quality issue that cannot be delayed.

Under UAE tenancy law, specifically Law No. (26) of 2007, your landlord is legally obligated to provide a habitable property and is responsible for all major maintenance, including structural issues and repairs arising from inherent building defects that lead to mold growth. The persistent dampness you describe suggests a potential leak or severe condensation issue, which falls under their responsibility. You should formally notify your landlord in writing, detailing the problem and requesting urgent remediation.

Given the climate in Dubai, with high humidity and year-round AC use, mold can proliferate rapidly. The AC system itself could be a contributing factor if not properly maintained, potentially spreading spores throughout the room. This is not a case for simple cleaning with bleach, as that will only remove surface discoloration and not the root cause or the hidden hyphal fragments.

We strongly recommend a certified mold inspection to identify the moisture source, assess the extent of contamination (including inside the wall cavity), and provide a protocol for safe, professional remediation. For a situation of this severity, we advise you to contact a specialist immediately.
