Under UAE tenancy law, specifically Law No. (26) of 2007, the landlord is responsible for maintaining the structural integrity and essential services of the property, which includes the central air conditioning system. This responsibility extends to the ductwork and vents, as they are integral components of the AC system. The presence of mold within the ventilation system constitutes a health hazard and a failure of the landlord to provide a habitable environment. You should formally notify your landlord or property management company in writing, requesting immediate professional remediation.

We strongly advise against attempting a DIY cleanup. Disturbing the mold can aerosolize harmful spores throughout your living space, potentially causing respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and other health problems. A certified professional from a company like Saniservice must conduct a thorough inspection, including air and surface sampling, to identify the mold species and the full extent of the contamination. The remediation process involves specialized containment, HEPA filtration, antimicrobial treatment of the ducts, and addressing the underlying moisture source to prevent recurrence.

For a comprehensive assessment and to ensure the remediation is handled correctly and safely, please contact our specialists. Call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection.
