There's a leak upstairs. What if I don't maintain it? Can I go to court?

Legal analysis: if the water leak upstairs is not repaired, you can go to court. First of all, you can negotiate compensation with the upstairs owner. If it is difficult to negotiate, you can ask the property for help. Finally, if negotiation fails, you can safeguard your legitimate rights and interests through litigation.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).

Article 937 A realty service contract is a contract in which a realty service provider provides realty services such as maintenance of buildings and their ancillary facilities, management and maintenance of environmental sanitation and related order within the realty service area to the owner, and the owner pays the realty fee.

Property service providers include property service enterprises and other managers.

Article 187 After the damage occurs, the parties may negotiate the payment method of the compensation fee. If negotiation fails, the compensation fee shall be paid in one lump sum; If it is really difficult to pay in one lump sum, it can be paid by installments, but the infringed party has the right to request the corresponding guarantee.
