Water Woes.The water leak came from under my kitchen sink.
The sink is within the lot (assuming it’s the pipe under the sink and in the lots airspace and not in the floor under the sink) it’s NOT common property it’s lot property and so the onus is on the owner to cover the repairs via HIS contents policy and the Strata Building policy. Any excesses the owner himself would have to cover.
I don’t see the chairperson having any liability as it’s not their responsibility. All costs should be covered by insurance or the lot owner whose pipe broke and caused the damage.
