Was the leak in the toilet sewer repaired by the upstairs residents or the downstairs residents?

According to Article 221 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Contract Law, if the lessee 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.

If the sewer is blocked and the tenant is blocked under normal use, the landlord shall bear the maintenance responsibility. If the blockage is caused by the lessee's abnormal use, the lessee shall bear the maintenance expenses. Sewers belong to * * *, and the property management company is responsible for maintenance. In case of losses due to congestion, the owner of the same unit upstairs shall be jointly liable for compensation.

First, the cause of water leakage needs to be determined in the extended data. When it is determined that the water leakage is caused by the decoration of the upstairs residents or other reasons, the upstairs residents should be repaired in time and the damage caused to the downstairs residents should be compensated.

If the cause of water leakage is really caused by the upstairs, and the upstairs residents do not cooperate or do not maintain it in time, the downstairs residents can submit the dispute to the court for handling. If the upstairs residents refuse to carry out the court decision, the downstairs residents can first ask the construction team to carry out maintenance on their own, and the expenses incurred shall be in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and then ask the upstairs residents to make compensation through the court.

If it can be determined that the quality of the house does not meet the national standards, during the warranty period, the damaged tenant can ask the developer to repair the leaking house and compensate the tenant for the losses caused by it.
