What happened when I bought a new house and found water leakage? Can I check out or change rooms? Do you need any proof from the developer or the property?

The leakage of the house depends on the situation: if it is a general quality problem, it is not enough to reject the house; If the quality of the main structure of the house is unqualified, or the quality of the main structure of the house is verified to be unqualified, and the buyer requests to terminate the contract and compensate for the losses, it shall be supported.

When the owner repossesses the building, there will be an acceptance handover form. Need to register the house and give feedback, and ask the developer to maintain it in time. According to national regulations, the housing warranty period is 5 years. Therefore, if the house leaks within 5 years, the developer will be responsible for the maintenance free of charge. If you can't live because of water seepage, you can also ask the developer for compensation.

The Supreme People's Court's Interpretation of Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Disputes over Commercial Housing Sales Contracts

Article 12 If the quality of the main structure of the house is unqualified and cannot be delivered for use, or after the house is delivered for use, it is verified that the quality of the main structure of the house is indeed unqualified, and the buyer requests to terminate the contract and compensate for the losses, it shall be supported.

Article 13 If the buyer requests to cancel the contract and compensate for the losses due to the quality problems of the house that seriously affect the normal living and use, it shall be supported.

If the house delivered for use has quality problems, the seller shall bear the maintenance responsibility during the warranty period; If the seller refuses to repair or delays the repair within a reasonable period of time, the buyer may repair it by himself or entrust others to repair it. The repair costs and other losses caused during the repair period shall be borne by the seller. ?

If the quality of the main structure of the house is unqualified, or there are other major quality problems that affect the residence, the buyer has the right to request the termination of the contract. As a man-made building, houses inevitably have some defects. Therefore, for general quality problems, developers have the responsibility to repair and compensate for losses. However, for the sake of protecting the interests of developers and maintaining the stability of trading order, buyers cannot ask for return a house or refuse to accept the house on this ground.
