Is the property obliged to repair the leaking window?

If the balcony leaks because the property fails to fulfill its contractual obligations, the property is responsible. If the balcony leaks due to its own quality problems during the warranty period, the developer is responsible for the maintenance. If the developer fails to perform the maintenance obligation, with the consent of the owners' meeting, the property can be maintained at the expense of the developer.

Whether the leaky window property has the obligation to maintain is divided into the following situations:

1. If it is because of public parts, such as balconies, roofs, walls, etc., the building leaks. , which belongs to the maintenance scope of the property management company;

2. If the building leaks due to improper use of the owner's own parts, such as waterproofing and illegal decoration, the owner shall bear the responsibility;

If it is a building quality problem, you can claim compensation from the developer.

Balcony leakage is divided into two situations:

One is water leakage during the warranty period.

The other is water leakage after the warranty period.

These two situations are handled differently. The warranty period of the commercial house of the owner of the newly-built residential area is 10 year. The developer is responsible for the maintenance in the first five years, and the property company is responsible for the maintenance in the last five years. In the meantime, it's free. After the warranty period, you can also ask for property maintenance, but you need paid services. The waterproof sealing layer of aluminum alloy window is not enough, and cracks will appear when the sealant ages and hardens. The most serious problem is that there is no drainage channel in the cavity of aluminum alloy window structure. The rainwater entering the cavity of aluminum alloy window structure under the action of indoor and outdoor wind pressure difference is not discharged in time by the drainage system, resulting in water pressure and leakage along the wall.

The joint between aluminum alloy window and wall is prone to water leakage. If the materials are not filled as required, such as the label of waterproof cement mortar is incorrect, there is a gap between the window frame and the wall when filling, especially for doors and windows with corners or connection forms, and the corresponding connecting rods are not strictly sealed, which will cause rainwater leakage. When decorating the roof by yourself, you should first inform your neighbors upstairs and deal with the roof as soon as possible in the spirit of friendly consultation. If the neighbors next door don't cooperate, you can contact the property management company, which will undertake to communicate with the owners on the second floor to solve the problem. If the decoration room delivered by the developer leaks, it should be reported to the roof, and immediately contact the property management company, which will let the developer carry out maintenance according to the warranty agreement. If the warranty period expires, the property management should order the owner of the roof to repair it himself.
