Leakage issue both both the members
Anusha Singh 25 October 2021
As per your query it is understood that you need information regarding the water leakage problem in your flat.
Case 1: As per rule, if the water leakage is caused by some alterations done by the flat owner staying above, then it is his/her responsibility to address it. You need to write a letter to Managing Committee of your CHS and get it resolved. If it doesn't get resolved, you can escalate the matter to Local Municipal Corporation as well as Deputy Registrar of your area.
Case 2: If it is not the fault of flat owner staying above you, then the expenses to stop/repair leakage has to be borne equally by you and above flat owner as per law. Same procedure as per above needs to be followed if above flat owner is not ready to co-operate and share the expenses.
In either of the cases, you will have to rigorously follow-up with the concerned authorities until you resolve the issue. These are teething issues and bound to take time if above flat owner doesn't co-operate. Build pressure on above flat owner by taking help of other flat owners of CHS and managing committee. Don't fight. Solve it amicably in a smart way.
Please provide detailed fact so that I can give precise advice.
Hope it helps!
