The water meters are on the first and fifth floors. Is the water pipe leaking the responsibility of the property or the owner?

Legal analysis: the person responsible for water pipe leakage is generally divided into three situations:

1, the pipe leakage of the house depends on whether the pipe is public or not. If the riser is damaged by non-human factors, the construction unit can be responsible for it during the warranty period;

2. But if the damage is caused by decoration or use, it should be the responsibility of the destroyer himself. If some pipes are dedicated to households, the construction unit can be responsible for them during the warranty period;

3. For some public pipelines, under normal circumstances, the property management company is responsible for the maintenance and management. Because it belongs to public facilities, property management companies should play the responsibility of maintenance and supervision.

Legal basis: Article 938 of the Civil Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) (1) The contents of a property service contract generally include terms such as service items, service quality, service fee standards and collection methods, use of maintenance funds, management and use of service premises, service term and service handover;

(two) the service commitment made by the property service provider in favor of the owner is an integral part of the property service contract. The realty service contract shall be in written form.
