Nowadays, everyone in society knows that house prices are relatively expensive, so if you buy a house, you would live in it happily. However, if there is a sudden leak and mold appears on the roof, this will cause great trouble to the homeowner. The homeowner upstairs is still a little unhappy. So what should you do if the leak upstairs is not repaired? Related answers were given based on some content.

After checking clearly, if there is a water leak upstairs, the damaged owner can make it clear to the neighbors upstairs based on the situation he knows, and propose repair requirements and compensation for some damages caused to him during the repair period.

It depends on whether the house is still within the warranty period, because generally new houses are within the warranty period of 5 years. If it is within the warranty period, it will be borne by the developer. If it has passed the warranty period, you can notify the property management, and the property management company can also find repair personnel to repair it according to the corresponding situation. If it is upstairs If the user fails to repair it in time, the damaged owner may not move according to relevant regulations. All parties in the exchange should correctly handle drainage, ventilation, lighting and other aspects of exchange relations in a spirit of conducive production and convenience, solidarity and mutual assistance, fairness and reasonableness. If it causes obstruction or loss to neighbors, the harm should be stopped.

When you find that your upstairs is leaking, you can first go to the owner and ask them to give their opinion, or you can go to the neighbors upstairs to negotiate for repairs, or you can ask community cadres and police to help solve the problem, and take photos, recordings, messages and other evidence. Don't go to court to sue them in the future. If it is the unit that rents the apartment, you can ask the unit to solve the problem.

Based on the above introduction on what to do if a leaking building is not repaired, I believe everyone has some understanding. If you encounter this situation, you first need to communicate with your neighbors. If the communication is not good, you can also find a business to mediate.
