Hello,
Just curious if anyone has any input about who is liable in this situation.
Tenants decided to do some unauthorized plumbing in the bathroom (so they could attach a washing machine which they arent allowed to have) which caused a nasty leak causing damage in the unit their in but also lots of damage downstairs.
Obviously they are liable for this and for the damage in my unit i have to pursue them for but what about the damage downstairs? Would i have to pay this and try and get the money off them or are they liable to pay the owner downstairs directly?
Also peoples input on how much the damages due by the tenant actually are would be appreciated eg a vanity that was only in average condition. Costs say $600 to replace but how much is the tenant liable for an the condition was not perfect?
In WA in a block of Strata titled units.
Thx for any input
