titanax 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2010 So I and talked back nicely, saying, in HDB rules and regulations for renovation, its is not allowed to plastering the ceiling, if found, contractor will be fine $5000, but if the owner knows and wanted to do, then the owners will be fine instead. And for the leakage of water seepage, it is 50-50 for both owners so are they going to pay for that not....And I told them straight that I'll will not plaster back for them cos other area maybe affected too and is illegal. They keep pushing the blame to me for tearing it down and didn't inform them, so I told them, if that's the cause, I'll go to my car and bring the equipment and material to plaster it back now. And I not going to tear the rest of the hollowness plaster at their 2 bathrooms anymore. Furthermore, I told them I will inform the HDB officer tomorrow and ask him to come and take a look and resolve it between me and the owner. The water seepage already been yrs and becos they knew its going to be 50-50, so they waited for new owner to do reno. then they can save the cost of it which is ard $800. Now, already taking advantages, still want some more...its crosses the line man. pls don't waste too much time on them, its obvious they don't appreciate your VA and on top of that taking advantage of your kindness. Get HDB to come in asap & we'll take it from there. as for me to pay for their cost... ask them go **** spider! sianz...even b4 move in got issue liao Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaskel 2 Report post Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) Lesson learnt....before do reno for hse owner, go downstairs to check for cracks and defects etc....(but mostly the neighbor below won't allow me in cos they want to use it as a chance to solves their problems) Wonder when HDB will come out with a rules that they will go below together with contractor to do a check before renovation started so that before there is dispute, its fair to everyone. Oh God, . This is not the first time its happened already. Edited September 15, 2010 by jaskel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
