Greetings,
I live in a condo and the owner on the floor above me had a leak after changing their toilet. I came home and found water dripping from the light fixture in my bathroom. I took pictures, and asked if they had homeowners insurance. They said yes, but would not tell me who it was, but informed me to use my insurance. THe problem is that the previous owner had a over flow and I just received damage payment from my insurance and was in the process of finding contractors. If I file another claim so soon, my insurance will increase sky high. My question is, can I sue this new condo owner and if I can, would it be worth it? The weird thing is that although you could see the water dripping from the light fixture when it happened, you don't see a water mark in the ceiling. I used a moisture monitor, and it showed that it is damp.
Thanks in advance
