In Dubai rentals, cleanliness is one of the main reasons tenants lose part of their security deposit. Professional end-of-tenancy cleaning by KKA Cleaning Services helps meet inspection standards and avoid unnecessary deductions. This guide explains how proper cleaning protects your deposit.
In Dubai, landlords often deduct from security deposits due to cleaning issues rather than property damage. Even small details—such as grease in the kitchen, mold in bathroom grout, or dust in AC vents—can lead to deductions.
Professional end-of-tenancy cleaning from KKA Cleaning Services ensures the property is returned in a condition that meets landlord and property management expectations, reducing the risk of disputes and delays.
