Karnataka RERA Orders Builder to Permanently Fix Water Leakage in Bengaluru Flat
Karnataka RERA ruled that SMR Builders must permanently fix recurring water leakage in a Bengaluru top-floor flat at their own cost, including repairing damage caused by dampness and cracks. The homeowners requested specific contractors, but the tribunal clarified they cannot dictate the choice of contractor or brand. The builder claimed to have spent over Rs 74,000 on repairs using professionals. Homeowners may reopen the case if issues persist after the rainy season tests the repair effectiveness.
