Hi,
Can I sue my neighbour for water damage due to water leak that came from a loose water valve in the kitchen of my neighbour?
I notice water damage on my wall and asked my strata management to inspect. They came back saying the water damage was not from my apartment but from my neighbour. Apparently a stop valve was loose in my neighbour's kitchen and it was not noticed because they were away for a few months, and water has collected under the floorboard. The strata management tightened the valve but said they will not attend repairs as this is a maintenance issue and not building defect.
Any lead is appreciated.
Thank you.
