You can sue him.

I had something similar happen while I was having a lie in at an ex girlfriends flat a few years ago, when the police entered the upstairs flat it turned out the guy had died in the shower and blocked the drainage hole.

The absolute bastard.

Did you sue him?

It wasn't my house, but I believe the estate received a bill for the repairs.

It's just the way the insurance system works. The damage was to your property so you have to claim from your insurance. However you insurance company will then claim from the insurance of the property above yours as they were they ones who caused the damage.

If that's the case why does it feel they ramp up my premium the following year?

My ceiling in the UK apartment has just falling down caused by a neighbour's leaking dishwasher.

£3k worth of damage my insurance company is forking out. Myself another £500 in lost rent and other administrative fees.

What I don't understand is why my insurance should be forking out when the damage is caused by my neighbour's equipment.

Is that right?

Teach you for owning a flat.

The flat cost more than £400K! Dream of owning a house I do.

So it would seem. Other death how else can I reduce the ills that befall me?
