Hello,
I've got a question,
I just purchased a condo unit and yesterday my unit got flooded by the unit above, I was told there's an issue with the washing machine hose and somehow it leaked from the unit above and flooded my whole floor. I'm not sure whether the liability is at the building or the unit owner above us, because the constructors at site told me it's the 3rd time within 2 weeks that there's been a flood. They're saying it's probably something with the washing machine hose and the management office is looking to replacei it. I dont have any furniture in yet but the carpet is totally wet. I was told it will be steam cleaned and taken care of, but the underpad is damaged and needs to be replaced, and I am responsible for the cost.
My question is, it seems like either the condo or the unit owner is responsible for this incident, then shouldn't they be paying for replacing the underpad?
