Hey tutti,
Vivo in un dormitorio studentesco privato e oggi ho notato una crepa nel lavandino del bagno nella mia stanza personale (non nel bagno in comune). L’avevo usato normalmente. Di recente ho lavato le mie scarpe da corsa leggere.
Ho un’assicurazione di responsabilità civile di venerdì, ma non sono sicuro di cosa fare ora. Devo informare prima il proprietario o contattare direttamente il venerdì? Il proprietario si aspetterà che paghi o l’assicurazione di solito copre questo tipo di danno?
Se qualcuno avesse un’esperienza simile, apprezzerei molto il tuo consiglio.
Grazie in anticipo.

fix it with yum yum noodles.
I had two of those. One on my last, one in my current flat. If there is no impact of something heavy it’s probably stress induced and your insurance won’t even pay for it. At least that was the case for both sinks.
So take a look if there is an impact somewhere and if not, your landlord has to swap it
The first step is informing your landlord. If they expect you to pay for a new sink, then you can contact your insurance. Legally, the landlord has to pay for everything that can be attributed to “normal wear”. Depending on the age of the sink, it might just be that.
If you noticed it and didn’t create it, it’s the landlords responsibility to pay for it. Given that it’s a crack, the sink is probably old and not something bashed, I’d say chances are good that you don’t have to cover it.
It happened to me, once the caretaker came for fire alarm inspection and he saw the sink with a crack , he immediately went back and brought a new one and changed it even without me asking him. He didn’t charge me anything. I live in student dorm too and this happened many times when ever he comes for inspection if he sees something broken he immediately fixes it and never charged me a penny.
Never use personal liability insurance to pay for something you can afford. This insurance is for existential problems. Sinks break even without anyone being at fault. It’s the landlord’s sink. So you may want to talk to him about it.
Even if you were responsible you would only have to pay the “Zeitwert” of the sink.
