Rental & Disputes
Who Bears the Cost of Repairing a Water Leak in a Rented Unit, the Landlord or the Tenant?
This usually depends on the terms of the lease contract and the cause of the leak: if it's due to an aging network or an original defect in the property, responsibility is usually on the landlord, while if it's due to clear misuse by the tenant, the matter may differ. We always recommend referring to the lease contract and clarifying the technical cause with our report as a basis for the discussion.
