Maintenence issues in flats

Dear Sir,

I have an apartment in the 3rd floor. I have given it for rent. In the flat just below my flat (2nd Floor), there occurred plumbing problem in kitchen side balcony. I got it repaired twice in 2 years. Recently I did it in Feb,2016.  Again the problem occurred twice with 2-3 months span & without intimating me 2nd floor flat owners got it repaired and claiming for the charges. Later my tenant informed.

Following are points that will give you more information:

  • 2nd floor owners had problem with my drain pipe from kitchen balcony. They had leakage in their ceiling.
  • Simultaneously, we also had leakage problem in kitchen wall which was not detected before. They said they got 2 things repaired for Rs. 4000/- in July-August 2016.
  • But for their problem, I got it repaired in Feb 2016 & paid Rs. 1600/- along with replacing new pipes & other necessary material.
  • Now they are saying that there was problem with that material I purchased last time for which neither the seller nor the plumber is responsible. So they again bought new material & replaced it.
  • I said, then last time’s my efforts & my money is wasted, so I will pay half the amount (Rs. 2000/-).
  • My concern is they neither informed me nor took my views about the problem, did all by themselves & finally claiming for the charges.

Kindly advise me Sir.

Thanks,

Sivaram

Sir,

They did not take quote from plumber. Plumber is very far from my place. He will not come again only to give the quote. And they can even generate duplicate quote.
