Homeowner wins against builder over roof leakage: Telangana RERA cites 5- year liability rule

Imagine buying a new apartment from a reputed builder and then finding the roof of the said apartment leaking water during the monsoons and worst all of this happened just ten months after performing a housewarming ceremony. This is the experience of Mr Akash from Mubarak Nagar, Nizamabad, Telangana when his newly purchased apartment’s roof started leaking in July 2024.
