The landlord from next door just called us to let us know his tenants had a leak in his property last night and a plumber attended to fix it.
He says as the leak was in the pipe leading from the water supply to our house it is 100% our responsibility and we need to pay him.
I basically told him to put it all in writing and we would get legal advice as I am unsure how legit that sounds. Also why didn't they knock or call last night to discuss this in real time, we were in all night? Surely at most we are 50/50 responsible for any shared pipes on his property? Any advice would be great, going to call our home insurance people for advice also.
This is the first house we have owned and only been here 6 months so all new to us. Thanks in advance :)
