Is the property responsible for the leakage of water pipes in houses?

The property is responsible for public facilities, and the expenditure of public facilities from the maintenance fund depends on whether it belongs to the exclusive part or the * * * * part. If there is an agreement between the parties, such agreement shall prevail. If there is no agreement, the owner of the proprietary part shall be responsible for the management and maintenance. However, there is controversy about who is responsible for the management and maintenance of some parts of * * *. If the waterproof layer has facilities as * * *, as it belongs to concealed works, it is generally believed that the upstairs residents, as the actual users, should bear the behavior obligation of reasonable use, and the downstairs residents, as the beneficiaries, also have corresponding obligations, mainly reflected in the cost commitment. During the warranty period, if the water leakage is not caused by human factors, the developer should take full responsibility. According to Item (2) of Article 1, Article 7 of the Measures for Quality Assurance of Building Engineering, it covers the roof waterproof project, the leakage prevention of toilets, rooms and external walls with waterproof requirements. The installation of electrical pipes, water supply and drainage pipes and equipment in Item (4) is two years, counting from the date when the project is completed and accepted. For the house that has passed the warranty period, the parties are not at fault (or there is no evidence to prove that they are at fault). If the waterproof layer naturally ages, the maintenance cost will be shared by both parties according to the realization situation, generally one person and half.
