There is a leak in the kitchen downstairs, and the property requires the removal of my walls and kitchen cabinets.

The property has no right to tear down your furniture. If your furniture is damaged during property maintenance and your cabinet is forcibly removed, remember to take photos and claim property compensation, but it is normal for the wall inspection hole to be opened.

The inspection port opened by the property on your wall belongs to the scope of non-compensation, because it is clear in the decoration regulations that the owner must leave the inspection port when decorating, so it is normal for people to open the inspection port.

Generally, external walls are waterproof for 5 years, and pipelines are waterproof for 2 years. You can look at the "Housing Quality Guarantee and Housing Quality Instruction" given to you when you buy a house. It says that if it is within the warranty period of several years, the property will compensate you and your downstairs for all the losses and repair the pipeline.

If not, don't listen to the property in 2008 that the renovation will hurt you. If it leaks prematurely, the pipe may age before it leaks.

The urgent task now is to reach a United front with the downstairs, so that the property can find a way to repair it without damaging the wall cabinet, and at the same time, it is also clear about the responsibility (why do you have to pay the full bill for others' water leakage instead of your own water leakage? ) You have to coordinate with downstairs. ...

To sum up, the property can't dismantle your furniture! The wall inspection port can be opened, but you only help the property to check the water leakage. If you find the problem belongs to you, you and the downstairs need to discuss how to pay the maintenance fee. ...

Also emphasize to the downstairs that it is not your family's responsibility, but the aging of the pipeline. Now you are trying to cooperate with the maintenance. If the property can't give you a satisfactory answer, you won't agree to dismantle the cabinet. Not without maintenance. It's a property problem!

I'm in real estate. Alas, the property is too bad ...)
