Any repairs towards the property normal wear and tear and due to no fault of the tenant is under the responsibility of the landlord.
Under one of the TA clause, the tenant is to enjoy quiet enjoyment of the premise without any disturbance from the landlord or agent if rental payment is prompt.
Your landlord had therefore breached the TA. As the tenant, you can inform and forward all mails to the landlord for his further action.
Meanwhile, to expedite the matter, you can withhold further rental payment until the matter is resolve.
That is all you can do and is up to him to follow up with the apartment management.
If the water supply is with the Water Authority, the apartment management have no legal authority to disconnect the water supply.
In a contract, the breached party must be given time to rectify the breach. Only if he fails, then the injured party can terminate the TA and claim whatever losses suffered.
In other words, if the water supply is indeed disconnected, you have to nego with the landlord how he intend to solve the problem. Only if there is no action from him then you can proceed to terminate the contract.
Have to nego with the landlord... mean in the end most likely I'm the one who will take the suffering... then it's better to look for new place to stay...
the apartment management say they just submit form 28, this will only impact the house owner right?
link “The management body then has to issue form 28 — the certificate of inspection to the party who should be responsible for the problem. The property owner has to solve the problem within seven days after receiving form 28. If he or she refuses, the management body can bring this issue to Tribunal, even court. So this is a serious issue,” he said.
