Who should be responsible for repairing the damaged part between the water meter and the main water pipe? Property or yourself?

I am a staff member of Dalian Property Management Company in Liaoning Province: (My badge is below)

(1) The water supply and drainage pipeline in the bathroom belongs to the self-use part, and the key point is in your home, not the main pipeline, so you have to pay the maintenance fee, and then the property management company will provide paid maintenance. (Self-use parts and equipment refer to water, electricity, gas pipelines, sanitary ware, doors and windows, non-load-bearing walls, interior walls, floors, ceilings and balconies. Property management companies can provide special paid services for damaged parts for their own use, including the water pipes you mentioned).

If the main water supply and drainage pipeline is leaking or blocked, it should be repaired free of charge by the property. If it is a problem with the water meter (such as freezing or leaking in winter), you should go to the water company for repair. The water company will properly handle your losses and clearly divide the responsibilities.

(2) After the property collects the maintenance fee, you should be given a receipt or invoice. This is your voucher and basis. With this, the property can bear the loss of your floor, debt, etc. This has been confirmed to be the responsibility of the property. You have to take photos at that time, that is, damaged pipes, furniture and the like.

As for what you said, connect a water pipe to the leaking place at home. . . I strongly object. If the water supply company finds that the water consumption of this building is beyond the normal range, they will thoroughly investigate. If it finds out that it is your home, even if it is a natural water leak rather than a man-made one, they will think that you stole tap water, double the fine, close the water valve to stop water supply, and post a penalty notice until you pay the relevant water fee. . . .

Another important point is that you need to say the legal basis, which is a bit difficult. As long as you don't know where you are from, the rules and regulations of each place are different. For example, Dalian, Liaoning Province has {Measures for Housing Management in Dalian, Liaoning Province} and so on. You have to tell me your specific city first, and I will help you find it. Actually, I don't think you need to find it. I sincerely tell you that tenants who have experienced this kind of thing sue our property, and the probability of winning is 0.
