Air conditioning is one of the most frequently inspected items at a Dubai handover, and one of the most commonly charged for. A handover AC service covers filter and coil cleaning, clearing the condensate drain, checking cooling performance, and cleaning the return grilles, so the units are handed back in the condition the tenancy agreement expects.
Most Dubai tenancy agreements place routine AC servicing on the tenant, and many tenants either do not realise it or leave it until the end. At inspection the signs of a neglected system are obvious to anyone who checks: dust-loaded filters, a visibly dirty return grille, weak airflow, water staining on the ceiling below a blocked drain, and a musty smell when the unit starts. Any of those can generate a deduction.
A service will not fix a failed compressor, a gas leak or a dead fan motor. If we find one we will tell you plainly, along with whether it is likely to be a landlord item or a tenant item, rather than servicing around a fault that the inspection will find anyway. Where a ceiling has already been stained by a blocked drain, that is a repair and repaint job as well as an AC job.
Service close to the handover date rather than months before, so the filters and grilles are clean at the point of inspection. Keep the service report: being able to show the AC was serviced is far more useful in a discussion about deductions than saying it was.

These come from the relevant authority but are revised from time to time. Treat them as a starting point and confirm the current position for your property before you rely on them.
These are observations from working in Dubai, not rules. No authority publishes them as requirements, and your own contract or community may differ.
Please read this. The information above is general guidance to help you understand the process. It is not legal advice, and Burj Al Wasl is a licensed contractor rather than a legal or regulatory representative. Rules, fees and procedures change, so confirm the current position with the relevant authority or a qualified professional before acting on anything here. We can restore a property to handover condition and document its state, which is what removes the grounds for a deduction. We cannot decide a dispute, and we do not promise any particular outcome on a deposit: that sits with the parties and, if contested, with the Rental Disputes Settlement Centre.
