This query is : Resolved
There was a seepage of water from my bath room to the lower flat. I have got it fixed at a heavy expenditure. The lower flat is not willing to share the expensed as per Bye-Law 160 b.
Who can help me in getting my legitimate dues?

Before seepage, did you obtain his willingness orally? If you have not intimated before seepage you cannot claim legally. Try to an amicable settlement.

How can one inform before seepage? Only after the seepage started, I took action by breaking the bathroom in consultation with the affected flat

It seems there was understanding with the other flat owner regarding repairing. Take up the matter with the society. If there is no outcome, send legal notice to that owner and society. ,

It is purely responsibility of owner/ resident of upper floor to repair leakage in his / her flat at his/ her cost and risk

Dear Dr. J C Vashira,
As per the society Bye-Laws (160b) the expense has to be equally shared between the two flats. Please check and revert.
Thanks

Have you taken permission and shared details of expenditure before proceeding with other flat owners and the society?.
Whether progress of work was shared time to time?.
Collect all proofs of the expenditure and send legal notice.
