The matter needs to be resolved by revisiting the relevant by-laws of your housing society of Residents' Association.

Who is the responsible for general maintenance of the flats and common spaces of the same? Was the place from which the seepage is happening belongs to any common spaces?
If your answer is yes then the Society is responsible for the repairing the damages. If the space on the up belongs to any individual then he alone is responsible for the damage. In either of the case , the person responsible does not do his duty then you have to approach the Registrar of the Society for the grievances to be redressed.
Yes, you can give the property on Rent with the permission of the Society.

You want to solve the problem or want to find solution legally.
Legal ways will take your efforts and resources and mental disturbance.
Just quitely visit the top floor flat assess the repair work and do it your self , rest is otherwise.

It depends on the terms contained in your sale deed & the bye-laws of your society.

1.If the building is within the warranty period (Usually one year, the builder/ promoter of the apartment has to do the repair works free of cost.
2.Otherwise, as per the bye-law.
3. In no case, a co-owner may not be responsible for it, unless specifically provided in the builder's agreement
