Understanding Property Damage Responsibilities: A Bukit Vista Breakdown

1. Damage Due to Building Quality: Contractor’s Responsibility

  • Scenario Explanation: Sometimes damage to your property can stem from the building’s initial construction or renovation quality. It’s like when you buy something new, and it doesn’t hold up – the responsibility to fix it falls on the maker.
  • Bukit Vista’s Detailed Action: In such cases, our team steps in proactively. We contact the contractor or builder responsible for the property’s construction or renovation. We manage all communication and coordination, ensuring that the issue is addressed and resolved to our standards.
  • Billing Clarification: In these situations, the financial responsibility lies with the contractor. We ensure that your financial interests are protected, and the contractor addresses the issue as part of their warranty or guarantee service.

2. Natural Causes Damage: Owner’s Responsibility

  • Scenario Explanation: Damage caused by natural events like storms or heavy rains falls under general property maintenance. It’s akin to wear and tear that you would expect in any home over time.

Our response involves contacting our network of maintenance professionals who are known for their quick and efficient service. We supervise the entire repair process, ensuring that your property is restored to its original condition as soon as possible.

3. Damage Caused by Guests: Guest/Airbnb’s Responsibility

  • Scenario Explanation: Accidental damage caused by guests can happen. Whether it’s a broken item or a small mishap, these are risks associated with renting out a property.
  • Bukit Vista’s Detailed Action: Our team acts immediately to assess the damage and initiate repairs. We communicate with the guests and Airbnb (if necessary) to ensure that the cost is covered by the responsible party. Our goal is to resolve the issue quickly while ensuring that the financial burden does not fall on you.
