Would just like to get some opinion on who to bear the cost for the Pipe leaking in the condo unit.
Lower floor unit's toilet ceiling pipe is leaking and is asking the upper floor unit owner to bear the cost. What if in future all other pipes are leaking, is the responsibility to fix still the upper unit? Please advice. |

QUOTE(Eleganz Concept @ Mar 13 2017, 11:10 PM) leaking may coz by many reason, It's the lower floor's toilet ceiling pipe tats leaking. N it was patched before the first time but by previous tenant which I din get any complain from. 1. some because waterproofing problem, mean the upper unit waterproofing had problem, then only the water is leak from the upper floor to lower ceiling, then upper floor need to pay. 2. If upper water pipe leaking and wet until lower unit, then upper floor pay. 3. If lower floor pipe leaking, of coz that usually will not effected upper floor, so lower floor pay. In general, check who's leaking, then who pay. That is possible to check where the leaking from. |

QUOTE(nexona88 @ Mar 13 2017, 08:45 PM) Best is ask your condo management.. We filed a complaint for the management to come n check... But the manager juz said it's after warranty period, asked us the upstairs n downstairs to look for outside contractor to settle. Is this actually the right way of the condo management to deal with tis matter? I just think they are totally irresponsible to answer in such manner.

But the upper floor doesn't know if it's their fault n of cors would not b responsible until proven guilty by the law. If upper floor is proven to b responsible, of cors they nid to pay. 1. some because waterproofing problem, mean the upper unit waterproofing had problem, then only the water is leak from the upper floor to lower ceiling, then upper floor need to pay. 2. If upper water pipe leaking and wet until lower unit, then upper floor pay. 3. If lower floor pipe leaking, of coz that usually will not effected upper floor, so lower floor pay. In general, check who's leaking, then who pay. That is possible to check where the leaking from. But the question here is who can show the proof of who is really responsible here? |
