Shower Pan Leaks, Replacements, Damage, and Liability
The majority of condominiums are airspace condominiums where the unit or separate interest consists of the airspace bounded by the unfinished surfaces of perimeter walls, ceilings, and floors. Anything within the airspace is part of the unit. Shower pans are installed on the unfinished floor of a unit making them part of the unit. Consequently, unit owners are responsible for repairing leaking shower pans. They are also responsible for any damage caused by any leaks. This includes damage to any unit below the shower pan.
