Hi all,
I live on the ground-floor of an apartment block (owner-occupier) with the bedroom patio doors facing the communal courtyard. Kids/teenagers play football in the courtyard several hours a day, and the ball hits our patio window numerous times. We are worried that damage will be caused to the window.
We have spoken to our management company and they said that we need to identify which apartment the kids are from, so they can contact the parents...as you can imagine, this is not easy to do. The management company have said that if there is damage to the windows, they are not liable. Can somebody tell me if this is correct?
We have approached the kids many times and asked them to stop playing (the lease states no ball games) but they return again a short while later. We cannot stand by the patio windows 24/7! The kids said they know there is nothing we can do about it!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
