Who is responsible for repairing the leaking water pipe outside the house?

Legal analysis: Water leakage in front of the water meter should be handled by the property. If the water pipe behind the water meter leaks, it should be borne by the user himself. The warranty period of house pipes is usually about 2 years. If there is any damage during this period, the construction enterprise may be required to carry out maintenance.

Legal basis: Article 53 of the Regulations on Property Management in People's Republic of China (PRC), the owners of residential properties, non-residential properties in residential quarters or non-residential properties connected with a single residential building structure shall pay special maintenance funds in accordance with relevant state regulations.

Special maintenance funds shall be owned by the owners, and shall be used exclusively for the maintenance, renewal and transformation of property parts and facilities after the expiration of the property warranty period, and shall not be used for other purposes.

Measures for the collection, use and management of special maintenance funds shall be formulated by the construction administrative department of the State Council in conjunction with the finance department of the State Council.
