If you are renting the unit, definitely the owner.

but theres a clause in contract as follows:

"To keep the demised Premises in good and tenantable repair and condition and to replace or repair any part of the said Demised Premises which shall be broken or damaged by the Tenant his/her servants or agents."

this clause apply to my scanario or not ? i suspect there is a pipe leaking in the floor slab or wall

if you're the one who causes the damage then you are liable to repair it yourself. Else its the owner accountability.

it is not your fault, it is actually the unit above, and it is the responsibility of the owner to inform the management and the management will contact the unit above to settle it

i dun think it is leaking from your water pipe to your unit; it should be like from the above unit's toilet or kitchen or washing machine area...

if you want it to get resolved fast, call the owner and say that youll arrange for a contractor/plumber to come give a quotation first. if the value is small or you can pay for it then get the owner to offset from your rental.

minor leaks are usually from the pipe cover where the rubber gasket has worn or someone shoved a stick to declog the drainage pipe.
