living in a flat in the community have many advantages. Our gardening, cleaning of the hallway and windows, repairs to the building, painting, sewage and plumbing are all covered in our rent. One day an incident occurred with the toilet in the flat which I live in. After flushing the toilet the water continued to overflow. I had to lift the blue ball in the cistern to stop the water for a while and I was just about to call a private plumber found on the internet when I realised that this emergency is covered through services charges.
