Who will bear the loss caused by water leakage in the shop?

Legal analysis

If the lessee does not cause the water leakage artificially, the lessor should be responsible. When the lessor needs maintenance, it may require the lessor to maintain the leased property within a reasonable period of time. If the lessor fails to perform the maintenance obligation, the lessee can carry out the maintenance by himself, and the maintenance expenses shall be borne by the lessor. If the maintenance of the leased property affects the lessee's use, the rent shall be reduced or the lease term shall be extended accordingly.
