Damage to property of neighbour due to non maintenance of property
31-Aug-2023 (In Civil Law)
Hi I live in Ashoka enclave,sector-35, faridabad on first floor. My building is a builder floor with 3 floors (Ground, First and second). The floor above me (second floor) is empty and is in bad situation. My floor is getting affected because of this since in raining session, lots of water gets stored on the above floor and then it starts pouring from electrical holes in ceiling and also from my roof in some places. The owner of above floor was informed many times but no action is taken. Is there a way he can be legally forced to do the maintenance since anytime it can be danger to life.
Your neighbour is causing statutory nuisance, and is therefore responsible for ensuring their property doesn't cause damage to yours. He is therefore liable to ensure the defects in his house are remedied.
Contact your local council Environmental Health Dept, and have them serve notice on your neighbour to have his defects repaired.

Can I sue my Neighbour for damaging my property UK?
You can ask your neighbor to pay the repair costs if you do not have insurance, or if the insurance company determines that it isnt covered under the policy. Ask your neighbor to pay for repairs. You can sue them for negligence if they refuse to pay.
What legal actions can I take against my Neighbours whose construction is flooding my house?
Send a legal notification to the neighbour seeking compensation and damages. As he was supposed to have covered the site and the building, he must compensate you. If he does not comply with the notice, a lawsuit can be filed for damages.
