Water Seepage

5 years ago

Dear Sir,
I am residing in an upper flat in a society. I renovated my small bath room to prevent water seepage to lower flat in April, 2018, bot the lower flat owner did not share expenditure. Now he wants that I should renovate my big bath room too to prevent seepage else he will sue me in a court. Please guide me how should I proceed.
Regards,
Devinder Kumar.

A.Dear Sir,
Let him go to the Court, it will take years together to get a decision. In the meanwhile you bring your expenses on record by issuing a legal notice to share earlier expenses.

A.Ideally your society should have the bylaws that in such cases who will bear the expenses or how it will be shared. So first approach the society and seek their guidance. In case the other owner files a case then you fight it out as it cannot be completely your responsibility.

Dear Sir,
Thanks a lot for your response. The bye laws of the society are silent about as to how it will be shared. How should I proceed further ? Should I fight it out in the court in case he files a case ?

If they file a case then total case expenses for both of you is going to be either equal or higher to the cost incurred for repairing. So, it is advisable that you both sit across the table and sort it out.
