A leasehold flat resident is facing a dispute over responsibility for a suspected sprinkler leak, with the managing agent suggesting it is the tenant's duty.
A resident in a top-floor leasehold flat is experiencing a suspected slow drip leak from a sprinkler in their ceiling. Property developers have reportedly checked the issue and do not believe it stems from a roof problem.
The managing agent for the property has indicated that the resident is responsible for paying for the investigation. They have also claimed that the resident is responsible if the sprinklers serve their specific flat.
What this means for you: If you are a leasehold flat resident, you may need to clarify responsibilities for fire safety equipment maintenance and leaks with your managing agent and lease agreement.
