Issue: Shower Pan Leak
Property: Condo
State: Texas
Recently purchased condo in Dallas, TX April 2010 and moved in April 24, 2010. May 4, the propery management company notified that my shower was leaking to the unit below me. Property mangement by way of the onsite maintenance guy state it is my shower pan and that this has been an issue for at least 5 years. Onsite maintenance guy state he told the original owner about fixing but he didn't.
Unit owner below also states she and other neighbors knew of this leak for at least 7 years as this isn't the first time she has had water leak into her unit.
We bought the condo from the son of the original owner who had passed away.
HOA said since it is the shower pan, it is our responsibility, however, the plumber said it is not the shower pan but rather the drain pipe from the pan.
Question: What recourse do I have considering the disclosure statement is blank as the seller did not live there and his father who lived there has passed away? What recourse do I have if any against seller, agent, HOA etc since this was a pre existing condition going back 7 years?
