Iam staying in a cooperative housing society in a ground floor flat.Ours is a ground plus two floor building.For the past one year,Iam getting leakage in my kitchen,the source of which is the top floor flat.Iam convinced that the leakage is from their bathroom,which they renovated in the recent past.I brought the experts in civil constructions and they also concurred with me. Now this top floor owner is refusing to do anything in the matter and asking me to pay for the repairs.Under cooperative societies law who is responsible for this?What are the legal remedies for me? Can I lodge a police complaint aginst this member?Iam worried that my celing may collapse due to constant leakage.I tried to bring a plumber to atleast put some white plaster in his bathroom,but this person avoided that by not remaining present at the agreed time.Any how he is not willing to do anything and Iam suffering for no fault of me. I have complained in writing to the society.What is your esteemed advice?
