Some time ago, the weather in the south continued to be humid, and " dragon boat water " was flooding. As a result, the wooden doors and windows decorated in many new houses absorbed more water, became heavier, and even swelled, deformed, sagged and loosened. The owners had a very bad experience and had to Apply for property maintenance . As a result, the property management company said that the warranty period for doors and windows is only one year. If the warranty period exceeds one year, the owner will have to pay for it himself. The real estate agent really doesn't understand the legal regulations, talks nonsense, and asks for prices arbitrarily.
According to national regulations, construction projects implement a quality warranty system. When the construction project contractor submits the project completion acceptance report to the construction unit, it shall issue a quality warranty letter to the construction unit. The quality warranty book should specify the warranty scope, warranty period and warranty responsibilities of the construction project.
For owners, the purchase contract will definitely indicate the warranty period for various decorations. The contract stipulates that the warranty period for doors and windows is one year, which is against the mandatory provisions of the law. Even if the owner signs it, it is illegal and invalid.
Article 40 of the " Construction Project Quality Management Regulations " Under normal use conditions, the minimum warranty period for construction projects is:
(1) Infrastructure projects, foundation projects and main structural projects of housing construction, which are design documents The specified reasonable service life of the project;
(2) Roof waterproofing project, leakage prevention of bathrooms, rooms and exterior walls with waterproofing requirements, is 5 years;
(3) Heating and cooling system, is 2 A heating period and a cooling period;
(4) electrical pipelines, water supply and drainage pipelines, equipment installation and decoration projects, for 2 years.
The warranty period of other items shall be agreed between the contracting party and the contractor. The warranty period of the
construction project shall be calculated from the date of passing the completion acceptance.
It can be seen that the minimum warranty period for decoration projects such as doors and windows is 2 years. For owners, this period generally starts from the date of taking delivery of the house. If the warranty period promised by the developer in the house purchase contract is longer than 2 years, the period promised by the developer shall prevail.
