In Ryazan, the court recovered damage from a neighbor for flooding an apartment because of a stub on a riser

The Soviet district court of Ryazan made a decision in absentia on the claim of the owners of the flooded apartment to the tenant of the above-located living space. This was reported in the press service of the court.

It was established that on August 8, 2025, cold water was poured into the plaintiffs’ apartment. The cause of the incident was a leak from under the plug, which the defendant independently installed on the kitchen riser of cold water supply. As a result of the accident, property of the owners was caused material damage. These circumstances are confirmed by the results of forensic examination.

The defendant did not appear in court and did not provide convincing evidence of the absence of his guilt in causing material damage.

In absentia, the claims are satisfied. The defendant was ordered to recover the cost of restoration repairs, as well as court costs.

The decision has not entered into legal force and can be appealed.
