I would like to know how to proceed with an apartment defect repair lawsuit.

There was someone I was chatting with on an open chat. We were chatting fine, but they suddenly accused me of harassing a minor, forced screenshots of only parts favorable to them, and demanded $200 as settlement, threatening to file a complaint. Does this constitute extortion/threat, and what's the punishment level for extortion/threat? Also, can deleted chat portions be recovered?

Hello. I am a Pyeongtaek civil attorney.

I think you must be very uncomfortable since a leak occurred in the bathroom ceiling of the new apartment you recently moved into.

This situation may be subject to an apartment defect repair lawsuit and it is necessary to examine the responsibility of the construction company.

First, the types of defects are as follows.

> Structural defects

Cracks in walls, floors, ceilings, defective foundation concrete, exterior wall and underground leaks, etc.
> Finishing material defects
Wallpaper lifting, tile detachment, noise and wind infiltration through window gaps, etc.

> Equipment defects
Pipe leaks, faulty electrical wiring, boiler malfunction, insufficient insulation, etc.
> Common facility defects

Poor parking lot drainage, elevator malfunction, playground damage, etc.

Additionally, the construction company's warranty liability for defects is as follows.

> Major defects affecting the stability and durability of the building, such as structural defects (10 years)

> Daily defects such as finishing materials or equipment (2 years)

You can assert your rights through an apartment defect repair lawsuit.

(1) Securing defect evidence (photos, appraisal reports, communication records, etc.)

(2) Repair request and consultation attempts

(3) Filing a lawsuit (civil lawsuit or defect repair claim)

(4) Court judgment and repair/compensation order

(5) Compulsory execution possible in case of non-compliance

As such, a defect repair lawsuit can take time, so it is important to receive help from a specialized attorney.

We recommend that you appoint a Pyeongtaek civil attorney as soon as possible to prove the cause of the defect and repair costs and receive efficient assistance in proceeding with an apartment defect repair lawsuit.
