Hi, I am a owner of a condo. The ceiling and the floor of my condo was damaged due to water leak. And the water leak was from an upper unit while they were doing remodeling construction. According to my concierge's explanation, the water leak was trigger during the remodeling but the real reason was an unknown item(probably a screwdriver or some sharp thing) which has been in the wall for a long time.
Although the management company of my building will repair my unit and pay for the dry out fee. They claim that I will have to pay for my own relocation during the construction. I am not professional of law but it feels weird that I have to pay for the unwanted relocation.
What's worse, I didn't have any homeowner insurance at the time of the incident.
I don't know what to do? Should I really buy their explanation and pay for my housing fee, or should I go knock my neighbor's door and ask them to compensate me?
What if they claim that it's an unforeseen incident which means they don't have the responsibility?
Appreciate any advice in advance!
