I live in a ground floor apartment with a duplex over me. Recently I have noticed water damage to the plasterboard surrounding the window in one of the bedrooms. Above this room is the kitchen of the duplex and my theory is the leak has originated there.
The guy above me is the owner of the duplex. He is also involved in the management company in some capacity. I'll be letting him know about all this when he returns from holidays. My question relates to who should ultimately be liable? We pay management fees, should they cover this? If they refuse (as I suspect they will based on the experiences of another neighbour in a similar case), then do I have grounds for appeal?
My estimate of the repair is around €300, not including the repair of the leak,
Many thanks.
