Reading: My upstairs neighbor’s flat has been leaking into mine for a month. I’ve shown them the damage, and they’ve promised to fix it, but haven’t done anything yet. I’ve sent two notices to the building’s society committee, but they haven’t replied. I’ve even spoken to the chairman directly, but nothing’s happened. I’m at my wit’s end. Should I file a complaint with the Pune Municipal Corporation? What should I do?

You can file a complaint with the Pune Municipal Corporation under the Maharashtra Housing (Regulation and Development) Act, 1966. The Act allows you to seek legal remedy for issues like leakage and damages within a housing society. You can also consider approaching the Consumer Forum or filing a civil suit in a local court.
