We have a leak in my child's bedroom and the source is a very old bathroom in the flat above, no tiles on the floor, no appropriate insulation etc...
We all share freehold in this building but they just refuse to fix things properly. To be specific - they pretend they are forthcoming and 'react' immediately but their fixes are in fact patches and the water just finds another way to come to the lowest point below their bathroom.
Now, I understand that redoing a bathroom is currently extortionate in terms of costs, and that they simply may not have money to tile and insulate it properly (although they don't say that they just keep pretending they fixed it properly 'this time around').
We have repainted the ceiling 3 times in the past 9 months - and yet again the wet patch and separation of the plaster boards is emerging :(((
At this point all I can think of is being petty and essentially start to retaliate against their property - I have a couple of ideas but I am aware that would be really petty childish etc...
