Respected Sir/Madam,

Promoter has handed poor constructed bathroom filled with *rubbish* or materials that is poor quality and did not stops seepage causing damp in below tenant flat. Leading to verbal intense arguments. As per 50 RS agreement of rent paper I am to bear internal cost. But how can I see what is inside the construction.

Now they want me to pay the internal construction cost. What would I do, kindly let me know. As it would be unfair for me to pay as I have not constructed this bathroom. As per point 10 of the agreement I should keep it water tight. But if not handed to me originally in water tight condition how will I maintain.

Same problems run in full building and they are using same tricks with all tenants

Please help

Quick Summary

A tenant is disputing the cost of bathroom construction, claiming the promoter handed over a poorly built bathroom with substandard materials that caused seepage. Although the rental agreement states the tenant is responsible for internal costs, the tenant argues it's unfair to pay for a defect not caused by them, especially if the bathroom wasn't watertight initially. The tenant seeks guidance on how to handle this unfair demand, noting similar issues affect other tenants in the building.

But as per agreement you have to bear only the internal cost not the whole cost, If the contractor demands for whole cost then it is not valid in law

That’s a solid point about planning ahead and avoiding costly mistakes. A lot of people underestimate how much layout, moisture control, and local regulations can impact the final result. I’ve seen projects run smoother when everything is mapped out early, especially timelines and materials. This breakdown explains it pretty clearly in a practical way https://bathroom-remodelingconroetx.com/ worth a look if someone’s trying to avoid delays and unexpected costs during a remodel.

Bathroom construction disputes often come down to unclear agreements, poor workmanship, and unexpected repair costs. Before paying extra charges, it helps to review the contract, request an itemized estimate, and document issues such as seepage or faulty waterproofing.
