I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this but it's kind of plumbing related so someone may know the answer so here we go...
My Fiance's sister has had a leak from her flat which has then caused damage to flats below her in the building. Her landlord hasn't got an accidental damage component to his buildings insurance and so is saying that she is liable. My gut feel is that it is the landlords decision as to whether he wants to risk not including accidental damage and as he is responsible for the fabric of the building he is liable and is just trying it on! Does anyone have any experience or views on this (I accept that no-one here is likely to be a solicitor and so the true legal view may not be given here -discalaimer disclaimer etc. - I'm just seeing if anyone has any real world experience of such an issue).
Thanks
