I live on the first floor of my building. My neighbour above me built a new bathroom about a year ago, and since then, water has been constantly leaking into my apartment. The plaster on my bathroom terrace is starting to crumble. What legal steps can I take to address this problem?

You can send a legal notice to your neighbour demanding immediate repair of the leak. If they fail to respond, you can file a civil suit in the local court seeking an injunction to stop the leak and compensation for the damage caused to your property.
