Who should be responsible for the leakage of the residential house purchased by the owner?

1. According to laws and regulations, during the warranty period, the development company is responsible for the maintenance of the house, and the development company informs the construction unit to carry out the maintenance. For losses caused by water leakage, the owner shall claim compensation from the development and construction unit. The claim process can be settled through consultation with the development and construction unit first. If negotiation fails, it can be settled through arbitration, or a lawsuit can be brought to the grassroots people's court where the house is located.

2. The warranty period of the house is different from the warranty period of ordinary goods, which cannot be simply set as 1 year, 2 years or 5 years after purchase, and there is likely to be a time difference between the warranty period when the house is handed over and the warranty period of the existing house. Real estate developers (developers) are responsible for the warranty of the buyers, but it is the construction contractor who actually undertakes the warranty work, and the warranty period is subject to the time promised by the construction contractor to the real estate developers.

3. The problem of water leakage in the house is clearly stipulated in the house quality guarantee. You can refer to the warranty period promised in the housing quality guarantee issued by the real estate development company. If there is no warranty period, the property company must promise to contact the real estate company for emergency maintenance, otherwise all the responsibilities arising therefrom may be borne by the property company.

4. If the house has passed the warranty period, the real estate developer does not guarantee it, but the property management company must bear the obligation to help the owner solve the water leakage problem. The property management company can help the owner to contact a professional waterproof and leak-fixing company to serve the owner, but the cost is negotiated by the owner and his company.

There are several reasons for water leakage in the house: First, determine the leaking parts, and there will be different warranty periods according to different leaking parts. During the warranty period, and the owner has not damaged the waterproof layer, the expenses shall be borne by the developer and the construction team. After the warranty period expires, with the consent of the owners' meeting, the top leakage will be repaired by the maintenance fund. The adjacent part shall be solved by the property management company in coordination with the relevant owners of the adjacent part. Property companies only fulfill the obligation of notification and coordination, and do not bear the maintenance costs.
