What is the name of your state? Indiana
I bought a condo in January. I am on the bottom floor. There is one guy above me. Over the last few months there have been several leaks coming through my ceiling from his place. I now have FIVE different places in my ceiling that are damaged or completely destroyed. One area is so bad that mold is starting to grow up there and one place (just above the bathtub) has a hole all the way through now. The guy upstairs has (he says) fixed one of the problems caused by a leak in his air conditioner, but he is refusing to take responsibility to fix my ceiling. I believe the leak in the bathroom is a separate problem through the hole you can see up to his bathtub where you can very clearly see water dripping down from it. His response is "there is no leak coming from my bathroom" and he refuses to do anything about it. I can't get anyone to do an work in my place as they insist the work must be done in HIS place in order to get the dripping to stop. Every day the damage to my ceiling is getting worse.
What are my options??? How can I get him to fix the problem before even more damage is done? How can I ensure that he will be made to pay for these damages?
Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated!!!
