Question
In a shared building, a burst occurred in the main sewer pipe on one side of the building, and there is no custom in this building. Who should participate in the repair?
Answer
Only the users of this pipe pay, and not the entire building participates, unless there is a custom in the building, like the law, that the entire building pays.
