I am willing to compensate him for the extra water usage to fill up my pool. But like I had said before there are 3 different landlords. And all of the tenants in this 3 apartments building believe that 1 of them cut the pipe without the other landlords knowledge. I did say thank you for everyone's help and appreciate everyone's feedback.

OK, this is the legal board - are you are aware of your liability/responsibility if someone is hurt (or worse!) in this pool.

And is your landlord?

First, you need to understand, as excon pointed out, that law is very precise. We did give you the best answer we could initially, that a landlord has the right to do anything that doesn't affect the living conditions of the tenants in their apartments.

But your situation is more complex than that and it required more info to be sure we were giving the correct advice.

Also, on a board like this, we try to provide, not only the answer to the specific question asked, but a solution to the problem. Sometimes that can mean asking for more info.

Just to make sure we understand the whole situation you live in a 3 unit building. Are all the units tenant occupied or is any owner occupied? You say there are three landlords. Is the title to the property listed to three indivduals, or how are there three landlords? Is the basement part of any one unit or common property? Do the tenants have express permission to use the backyard?

I have talked to one of the landlords and he did not know that the other landlord had cut the pipe. It is all taken care of. Thank you for your help.
