Responsibility division and dispute settlement of residential water leakage

This paper will introduce the responsibility division and dispute handling methods of housing leakage.

Developer's responsibility

The responsibility of the developer is within the warranty period. If the water leakage is not caused by human factors, the developer should take full responsibility.

Property liability

Water leakage is definitely not caused by the property, but if the property is neglected in management, or problems are not handled in time, resulting in increased losses or more serious problems, then the property should bear the responsibility.

Fair responsibility

For the house that has passed the warranty period, the parties are not at fault (or there is no evidence to prove that they are at fault). If the waterproof layer naturally ages, it shall be shared by the parties according to the realization situation, generally one person and half.

Processing mode

The ways to deal with water leakage disputes are as follows: developers should bear the responsibility for quality problems in building houses; The damage caused by the upstairs residents to the downstairs residents due to house decoration, pipeline renovation and improper water use shall be borne by the upstairs residents; The leakage caused by the damage to the roof of the building caused by the renovation of the downstairs residents shall be borne by the upstairs residents; Long-term use of the house leads to leakage caused by natural aging of waterproof materials, and the neighboring parties are not at fault, so it should be determined according to the identified causes of leakage.
