Housing association liability: free legal advice

Questioner

Hello, Last storm a big tree fell on our garage, it has now been moved a lot. Now the next thing the housing association is liable because they did not maintain these trees, now the next thing the housing association does not want to pay for the repair work that needs to be done on the garage. The supervisor wants to reimburse 1000 euros only the repair costs are much more expensive. Advice and feedback please

Lawyer

Based on your story, the housing association must reimburse all costs for which it is liable. This also means the full repair costs of the garage. You do not have to accept the offer. I advise you to send a registered letter to the housing association and hold them liable to repair the garage within a reasonable time, failing which you will take legal action. If you wish, you can contact me directly and free of charge for consultation.

I agree with my predecessor. I would also mention the amount offered in that letter so that it is clear that this was offered. If they do not change their minds, you can file a claim in court. If you wish, you can also contact me about this. It will probably depend on where you live. If that is not an obstacle, I would like to hear from you.
