007 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Maybe forum members have had a similar problem. I'm renting an apartment. The equipment, e.g. hot water heater are quite old, so it happened what had to happen: a tube at the hot water heater leaked, and finally broke. Till we saw the damage, a lot of water had gone down the drain. The landlord has repaired the damage, as I, as the tenant pay a monthly maintenance/service fee. However the water meter went berserk in the meantime, and my question is, who will pay for the high water turnover (more than 1,000 baht)? Any experience, or recommendations? Thanks in advance.

pattayadingo Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Surely that is down to you? The repair has been made and the water / electric bills are yours. If you had noticed earlier your bill would be smaller. And that is a lot of water down the drain at 1000 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave111223 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 How is the landlord supposed to be responsible for noticing a leaking pipe in your bathroom? Maybe you should suggest he install some CCTV cameras in the bathroom so that he can monitor for leaks in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
