Looking for legal advice:
There was a plumbing issue on my apartment and it leaked down to downstairs apartment.
What happened was the cylinder started to overflow.
First off there is €5000 excess on any water claim so insurance not an option.
I immediately phoned plumber and he fixed the leak.
The ceiling on downstairs apartment has crack say 5 foot long.
The downstairs owner has asked builder for advice who says replace part of ceiling and re-plaster.
Cost €650 (not too expensive)
The management company has handyman who happens to be a plasterer and they are offering to fill and redecorate free of charge.
The downstairs owner say they need part of ceiling replaced and will cost me €650.
However it's my understanding that legally it's not my liability ??
Any experts can confirm / challenge?
I'm of the view
- not my liability
- happy to help
- management company will do the repairs
While I have every sympathy with the other party: I feel the kind offer to repair by management company should be considered first.
