Dear Sirs,
I am residing in one registered society in mumbai. Since last one last month, we are facing a sever leakage problem in our kitchen causing a damages to walls, furnitures and paintings in our flat and plumber and architect has told me that the said leakage is from the kitchen of the flat situated above my flat. I have requested above flat member to get it repair and I have also express my willingness to pay 50% of the repair charges. He advised me to write a letter to the secretary of the society. Accordingly, i have done so. However, till now, I have neither received any reply from the secretary nor the member of above flat has agreed to carry out repair work. As the days pass on, the damages in our flat has been increasing.
Please advise me about the further course of action that I can opt for to resolve the matter.
Thanking you.
