Leakage in your bathroom

I met the supervisor from the management and I raised an issue pertaining to leakage on the ceiling of the bathroom after the liability period is over. This issue may lead to dispute between owner upstair and the downstair. In the Deeds of Covenant, it is not stipulated who will bear the cost of repairing the leakage but it is stipulated that you must make it accessible to whoever appointed to carry out the repair. The supervisor said that the owner upstair must bear the cost of the repair because he is the cause of the leakage. I seem to agree with him. It is like a chain reaction.

Should you refuse to carry out the repair, the owner downstair may deny you entry if your bathroom is flooded due to the blockage of the sewerage piping and it goes on and on. If he tries to be nasty, he may seal the pipe and your house will be flooded with sewerage. The best thing to do is to settle the problem amicably. If you encounter such a problem, please inform the management and ask for assistance. To avoid such a situation in the future, the management should insert another clause in the Deed of Coveanant to indicate the party to carry out the repair.

Goodnight and have a nice day!
