Washer machine leaked water into the apartment: Who is responsible?

Oct 25th, 2010, 10:46 AM

The washer machine which is owned by me accidental leaked water into the apartment. The hose came out of the wall. It is not defective it just came out someone how. Who is responsible for paying for the repairs. We have offer to pay for the clean-up, but does the landlord still have to pay for repairs?

I wish to inform you that the damage in the building was caused because of your machine. In this landlord cannot be made liable for damage caused by your machine. As you were owner of machine therefore you being the owner of machine will be vicariously liable for the damage caused by your machine.
