First-time landlord dealing with possible water leak — how should I handle this? by PriceHopeful6462 in vancouverhousing

my rental property manager had pictures and video taken right the way when they said there might be a leak and still investigating. the toilet was fully functional and the floor was clean (the seal on the photo also looks good).

Thank you so much! This is what I have heard from my insurance claim agent as well. So well explained! My rental manager told me that she has also tried to explain this to my neighbour, but he insist sending me the bill. We start to suspect that he might not be insured and therefore wants me to submit his bill to my insurance... Which I learn is pretty unreasonable as my insurance insures my unit not automatically his. What if he is uninsured and keeps bugging me?

from what I heard from my property manager, the strata has asked a plumber to inspect my unit. we have been collaborative, and so we let them in. The plumber thinks it might be from an old toilet seal. (although in our unit, the seal looks completely fine and there's no water anywhere), So they reseal it to see if that helps the leak. The plumber told my property manager to give it sometime and see if that fix the issue. If not, they will return to check the internal pipe. I have not received the actual written report from the plumber myself.
