Downstairs, remove the balcony load bearing wall and seal the balcony into the room, who is responsi

Article 5 The following acts are prohibited in residential interior decoration activities:

A) without the original design unit or the design unit with the corresponding qualification level to put forward the design plan, change the main body of the building and load-bearing structure; ”。

Therefore, the first downstairs behavior has been illegal, and the upstairs residents have the right to demand that the downstairs be restored to the original appearance of the house.

As for the water leakage of the house, if there is no water leakage before the renovation of the downstairs, and the water leaks after the renovation, and the renovation of the house is not carried out upstairs during the period, it can only be borne by the downstairs itself and bear the cost. In line with the judicial principle of "whoever asserts, who presents evidence", unless the downstairs can produce evidence that the behavior upstairs is the direct cause of the water leakage in the house, if there is evidence, the upstairs needs to bear certain responsibilities and related costs.

Is the load-bearing wall that the landlord is talking about the partition wall between the balcony and the living room? If so, the wall is not allowed to be demolished, you can file a complaint with the Housing Authority, request restoration, or show a report that the Housing Authority can remove the wall. But the cost of waterproofing is settled upstairs, and this is so stipulated in law.

It is their fault to remove the load-bearing wall, but the water leakage has nothing to do with the load-bearing wall, but it also has nothing to do with the upstairs, and it should be the property to solve it.
