Who will bear the water fee after the water pipe leaks in the public area?

Legal analysis: During the warranty period, the developer promises that if the cause of water pipe rupture is not clear, the property will negotiate with the owner.

Legal Basis: Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in the Trial of Disputes over Commercial Housing Contracts Article 13 If a developer refuses or delays maintenance within a reasonable period of time, the owner may carry out maintenance by himself or entrust others to do so, and the maintenance expenses and other losses during the maintenance period shall be borne by the developer. If the building leaks due to the decoration or other improper behavior of the upstairs owner, which causes losses to the owner, it shall be restored to the original state or compensated at a discount according to the property losses of others. As an infringer, in addition to stopping the infringement (such as redoing the waterproof layer), he should also be liable for damages. After the warranty period expires, the owner shall be responsible for the maintenance of water leakage caused by the normal use of facilities in the house, and the expenses shall be borne by the owner. If water leakage causes losses to other obligees and obstacles or losses to neighboring parties, the infringement shall be stopped, obstacles removed and losses compensated. Public facilities leak, the property management company is responsible for maintenance.
