In Dubai, a new question arises around responsibilities during maintenance of rented apartments. According to recent clarifications, landlords are generally responsible for carrying out maintenance and repair works of rented properties unless there is a specific agreement stating otherwise. This has sparked debates among tenants and landlords about who should bear the cost if accidental damage happens during maintenance activities.
Experts explain that if such damage occurs accidentally and there is no agreement holding the tenant liable, then the landlord must cover the repairs. This ruling aligns with Dubai’s efforts to protect tenant rights and maintain housing standards.
Tenants are advised to review their lease contracts carefully to understand their liabilities concerning maintenance. The local authorities continue to encourage open communication between tenants and landlords to avoid disputes and ensure smooth handling of maintenance issues.
This move comes amid rising concerns about housing conditions and tenant protection in Dubai’s rapidly growing real estate market. Stay tuned to Questiqa World News for more latest updates.
