The owner of the top floor has not been decorated for a long time, and the roof seepage has affected the downstairs. Who should I claim compensation from?

High housing prices are a great burden for those who work hard outside. Buying a house in the city is a very stressful thing. If you encounter problems with the quality of the house again, you will definitely be depressed. However, it is very common that there are problems with the quality of commercial housing. There will be news about the quality of the house from time to time. Then the problem is coming. If the owner of the top floor does not decorate for a long time, the roof seepage will seriously affect the owners downstairs. Who is responsible for this situation and who should pay compensation?

Under normal circumstances, the owner of the top floor does not need to admit responsibility. At first glance, it seems that the owner downstairs has been hurt because the owner of the top floor has not been decorated for a long time. In fact, this is an illusion, and the responsibility is not mainly on the owner of the top floor. Generally speaking, when buying a commercial house, there is no stipulation on how long the owner will decorate the house, nor will it stipulate the specific purpose of the owner to buy a house. Therefore, it is ok for the owner of the top floor not to decorate the house for the time being, without violating any regulations.

The owner of the top floor may choose not to decorate the house temporarily because of his limited financial ability, or it may be because the house itself is bought for investment rather than living by himself, so the house will not be decorated. Although the house is mainly used for living rather than real estate speculation, as long as real estate speculation does not conflict with the real estate transaction regulations of the city, it is not illegal in law.

Therefore, it is no problem for the top floor owners not to decorate their houses for a long time, and it is not uncommon to buy houses for a long time in real life. Of course, some properties may have special regulations when selling houses, such as the purpose of the house and the time limit for house decoration. If so, that's another matter.

Real estate developers, construction units, properties, etc. Everyone has a responsibility. First of all, it needs to be clear that the top floor owner has not been renovated after buying the house, which means that the top floor has been kept in the state when it was handed over, and there is no artificial external damage. This is very important for discussing this problem.

Since it is because of the quality problem of the house itself that the water seepage on the top floor affects the owners downstairs, the construction party (the construction unit) must be directly responsible, because the building was built by the construction party at the beginning, and there is no external damage to the top floor, so it is likely that the construction party did not build it at that time, so the construction party is to blame.

The developer is the first responsible person of real estate. If there are quality problems in the real estate house, the developer is responsible anyway, and it is the main responsibility. Some real estate developers have their own construction teams, while others seek the cooperation of builders. However, whether it is their own construction team or other construction units, the construction party has problems, and the developers are also jointly and severally liable.

Many people don't understand why the property is also responsible. The reason is this. After the property is handed over, the developer will hand over the community to the property company for management. The task of the property management company is not only to maintain the daily environmental sanitation of the community and collect water and electricity property fees, but also to regularly check the safety of the pavement and floors of the community. If the property earnestly performs the duties of inspection and building inspection, it will definitely find water seepage on the top floor, and then repair it in time or report it to the relevant units.

The above is the responsibility analysis of the top floor seepage problem. As for who to ask for compensation, I don't think we should ask for property compensation, because the property is responsible for what happened after the house was handed over, and the water seepage on the top floor is a problem in the construction stage of the house, so we should ask the developer for compensation, because the original purchase contract was also signed by the owner and the developer, and the developer should compensate for the quality of the house. As for how developers and construction units negotiate compensation, that is another matter. The above only represents my point of view.
