Hi,
I had a burst pipe last year in my apartment which caused damage to the apartment and required the floor to be drilled up to correct. After much arguing with the managing agents for the management company, it turns out that this was covered all along by the buildings insurance (i.e. through the management company). I had to pay for the materials for the repair of the pipe (a total of about 150 euros out of a claim of 5500 euros).
The problem is now that the excess (800 euros), the managment agent are telling me is up to me to pay and not the management company. Now, I'd be ok with this if I believed it to be true, fact is, I don't believe a word they say due to past experiences with them.
Now technically, the management company "owns" the area that work was done and have been proved to be liable (by virtue of the fact that the building insurance covered the claim).
Does anyone know who should pay the excess?
Thanks
