Question
Who is responsible for sharing the expenses of sealing the roof of a shared building? Should the resident on the top floor pay more than the residents on the lower floors because they benefit more?
Answer
Since all the residents of the building benefit from the roof sealing, and it is a significant necessity for the maintenance of the entire building, all residents should share these expenses equally.
