When encountering the terrible problem of water leakage in the house, how to protect their legitimate rights and interests is something that every owner is concerned about.
Yan Gui Nest Legal Service Group said that the first thing to do is to determine the cause of the water leak. Is it the quality of the house itself, or the misconduct of the adjacent owners, or is it the result of poor property management? This is a crucial step in defending rights.
If it is a problem with the quality of the house, during the warranty period, the owner has the right to ask the developer to bear the responsibility for the repair and the corresponding compensation. If the warranty period is exceeded, you can apply for repairs using the Housing Repair Fund.
Water leaks caused by adjacent owners should be resolved through friendly negotiation. If the negotiation fails, you can seek mediation from the property or neighborhood committee. If a water leak is caused by a property management problem, such as improper maintenance of a common plumbing, the owner should ask the property to repair it in a timely manner and bear the damage.
For example, an owner's house leaked due to the renovation of the upstairs neighbor damaged the waterproof layer, and with the help of Yan Gui Chao Legal Service Group, the neighbor was required to repair it and compensate for the loss through legal channels.
Yangui Nest Legal Service Group emphasized that in the whole process of rights protection, it is necessary to pay attention to retaining relevant evidence, such as photos, maintenance records, expense lists, etc., so as to better protect their rights and interests. In short, don't panic when you encounter a house leak, it will be effectively solved through legal channels.
