How to properly handle the roof leakage problem of commercial housing

Have you ever encountered the problem of water leakage on the roof of commercial housing? Let's learn how to deal with this problem properly.

Developer's responsibility

If the top floor of your building leaks during the waterproof warranty period, the developer must repair it for free. Once a leak is found, contact the developer and ask them to repair it as soon as possible. After the expiration, you may have to pay maintenance fees.

Complain about safeguarding rights

If the developer fails to perform the maintenance obligations during the warranty period, he can complain to the Consumers Association, the housing construction department and the quality supervision department. If the complaint is fruitless, you may wish to use the power of the news media to expose it, and even prepare to take judicial channels to solve the problem.

Man-made destruction

If the leakage is caused by man-made damage, even during the warranty period, the developer is not obliged to repair it for free. At this time, you need to find the destroyer and ask him to provide maintenance services or pay maintenance fees. If the destroyer cannot be found, the maintenance cost will have to be shared by the owners of the whole building.

The owner * * * bears the same responsibility.

When the roof leaks after the warranty period, the responsibility falls on the shoulders of all owners. If the water leakage problem is not serious, we can discuss and share the maintenance costs, and then ask for property maintenance. However, if the water leakage is serious, such as the roof cracking, you need to apply for overhaul fund. If the application is successful, the maintenance fee does not need to be paid by the owner himself; If the application fails, the maintenance cost will still be borne by all the owners.
