Case: The owner of a residential area added living rooms and balconies when decorating indoor houses without the consent of relevant units and departments.

First of all, the partitions in the house are divided into load-bearing walls and non-load-bearing walls. Bearing wall is an important factor affecting the safety of building structure, and it is not allowed to be destroyed. The load-bearing wall can be modified appropriately according to the situation.

Article 70 of the Property Law stipulates that the owner shall have the ownership of the exclusive parts of the building such as the business premises, and the condominium of the * * * parts other than the exclusive parts. Article 7 1 stipulates that the owner has the right to possess, use, profit from and dispose of the exclusive part of his building. The owner's exercise of rights shall not endanger the safety of the building or damage the legitimate rights and interests of other owners.

The interior wall of the building is the exclusive part of the owner and belongs to the owner. As long as the new windows do not affect the safe use of the whole house. However, if the window is installed outside the wall, it must be approved by the community Committee.

The owner has the right to replace the windows, but the property also has the right to request the unification of the architectural appearance. When their rights conflict with each other, the law will give priority to the party with higher rights. Obviously, the owner's property right is higher and the owner can replace it. However, for the sake of neighborhood harmony and good relationship with the property, owners should try to consider the overall appearance of the community before replacing new windows.
