Can the new house not be handed over if it leaks?

Ha ha. Let's ask this question like this:

1. The house has quality problems. You need to see what the problem is, whether it is a major structural problem or a minor problem that needs maintenance. Do you think the house is leaking, is it a large area of the external wall or a local seepage around the balcony sewer? If it is the latter, the problem is not big and can be repaired. If it is a main structural problem (such as beam-column fracture) or a large area of water seepage on the external wall, you can ask the developer to return a house.

2. Look at the maintenance agreement in your house purchase contract. It is common for a house to have unqualified places (not big problems) that need maintenance. This can't be the reason why you don't accept the house, which is legally untenable. As long as the developer can maintain it in time, but if the developer fails to maintain it in time, or even fails to solve the problem after maintenance, it will bear the responsibility and even compensate.

The maintenance of the house has nothing to do with not paying the property fee. If there is nothing wrong with the house, why is there a shelf life? Think of it this way. If it is found that some parts of the house are leaking after two or three years of delivery, does it mean that the property fee should be calculated from the time of seepage? These are two different things.

I suggest you look at the problem of water seepage in the house first, and send me a message if you don't understand.

If it's not a big problem, close the house first, report the situation to the property, let the property keep records, make records by yourself, when it was reported, and what the problem is. Please contact the developer for maintenance.

If it's a big problem, ask the housing appraisal department to identify it and check it.
