D Sir,
I had a vacant land of 2900 sft adjacent to my dwelling house.I hv constructed a residential apartment of 8 flats there and sold mostly to my close friends last year.One flat owner (not well known to me) at top floor verbally complaining that all his inside walls are getting wet during rainy season due to leakage of water from roof.I called an expert from SIKA INDIA LTD.He verbally explained that due to oil paint wall is gathering moisture during rain.There is no spot of leakage in inside roof.Verbally he is continuously insisting me for treatment of roof. There is no problem of other flat owners on top floor. Please let me know what to be done and duty of promoter after handing over the property.
Thanks.

The promoter is liable for faulty construction. The flat owner can approach the civil court or the consumer farum and seek appropriate relief.

If the reason for taking action is justified and relevant the flat owner can take legal help. If it merely a problem of waterproofing, then the promoter an get it done easily to avoid the hassle.

Try to have mutual settlement. If not possible, you may get the roof repaired.
