We are living in older buildings and while the corporation is charged with maintaining the common areas, owners are charged with maintaining the interior of the units.
This is a "HEADS" up.
This means any water leakage, be it from sinks, tubs, laundry equipment or toilets is for the owners responsibility to repair and pay for damages to areas outside of your unit.
The cost to repair the damage below is for the owner of the leaking toilet.
Over time, the buildings have settled and shifted. If you have had new flooring installed or repairs to the bathroom done causing the toilet to be shifted and or removed, it is critical that the seal beneath the toilet be replaced by a qualified person to prevent unwanted and perhaps unnoticed leaks to the area below your unit. A good practice is to not have silicone applied around the base of the toilet. If it leaks, you will notice the leak before your neighbour.
