Who pays for mold检查?(10字,英文版本为:Who is responsible for mold checks?)?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the corner of the living room where the carpet meets the wall. My son has also had a persistent cough that he couldn't shake off. Given that this is a rental property we’ve been in for two years now, who typically takes responsibility for checking and addressing mold issues?

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, mold checks and remediation typically fall under the landlord's responsibility for rental properties. However, this can vary based on the lease agreement specifics and local regulations. The Federal Law No. 17 of 2003 Concerning Real Estate Agencies and Services, which governs real estate transactions, does not explicitly state that landlords must conduct regular mold inspections. Nonetheless, it is advisable for tenants to notify their landlord about any signs of moisture or mold growth. If the condition persists despite notifications, professional inspection by certified environmental experts should be considered.
Given your situation where you've noticed a musty smell and your son has been coughing persistently, it's prudent to contact a professional immediately. Saniservice, for example, can provide a detailed mold inspection tailored to UAE standards. Their hotline 800-MOLDS (800-66537) is always available for immediate assistance. Remember, while the landlord may be responsible, proactive steps by tenants are crucial in maintaining a healthy living environment. Regularly check areas prone to moisture like bathrooms and corners where walls meet floors or ceilings. If you find any signs of mold growth, document it thoroughly and communicate with your landlord accordingly. Don't hesitate to seek professional advice if issues persist. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for immediate assistance and guidance on handling potential mold problems in your rental property. |
