This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir,
I am a resident of Group housing society in Delhi. I reside on the 1st floor of the society and am faced with leakage problem from bathroom from 2nd floor fora long time.
I have approached the owner of the flat to get the repairs done but it has not yielded any results.
I have also approached the management of the society nad had several discussion with them to prevail upon the owner of 2nd floor but till date nothing has happened.
Kindly sugget the options and the steps I should follow to get this problem resolved.
Thanks in advance
Regards

you may agree to either to two or any third option but be sure that he will not repair (even at your cost) till forced to do so.

It is a dispute between two members of a cooperative society and should be referred first to society in writing for resolution
failing which a complaint should be lodged
with Asstt.Registrar cooperative Societies
for all reliefs required.

if there is leakage from second floor and no action is taken inspite of repeated reminders then you have to move cooperative court for necessary reliefs .
in the alternative offer to pay 50%^of charges for repairs of the bathroom
