My flat is on 4th floor in a co-operative housing society and there has been some water leakage in the lobby from past 2 years which drops unto the ground floor. Society brought a plumber and had a check in which the plumber said that there is a leakage from one of our washroom pipeline and from there the water seeps through the lobby and drops at ground floor. Now society has given us a letter to repair our washroom on our own expense in which the plumber suggests to completely remove all the tiles and check all the pipelines in that washroom. Now my question here is that if the leakage is in the lobby isn't it the cost to be paid by society or the cost is to be paid by me. Also what if, after the repair of my washroom on my own expense the leakage problem still persists and the actual leakage is somewhere else.
Seeking guidance or knowledge by civil law in these terms.
