Water leakage on terrace and society denying repair
Question
Respected sir/madam, I am from Hyderabad.
Our building is just 2 year old, due to construction fault, water leaking from terrace slab/walls
Below reasons why society is denying to repair:
1. Terrace isn’t common area. Is this right?
2. Since it’s only 2 years it’s builder responsibility to repair(reason why we want repair now is the dispute with builder will go for years and by then damage would be a lot inside our flats). Can society stop repair based on this?
3. Also bcoz of pending issues(Cellar water leak, water coming from cellar bulb holder etc) which society claim as severe(but no action taken in 2 years) All top floor owners moved in from last 5 months only.
We worry abt rainy season, few rains going to damage wall and can lead to electric shock if I am not wrong, as water passes thru walls.
We are willing to pay 1 lakh and later recover from monthly maintenance. Society is not agreeing to that too
Sir/madam, please advise.

If the builder is denying the repair, a complaint against the builder before the consumer court seeking compensation for the deficiency in service can be filed after getting the repairs done by the members of the society facing the trouble. simultaneously a complaint can also be filed before the RERA authority of your area against the builder. If the RWA has been formed then the members of the society i.e. the flat owners can also approach the District Registrar against the builder depending on the terms and conditions of the RWA.
