Question

Hi,

I live in a three story apartment, first floor. It is raining heavy today (11/27), the rain water is building up in the slide door track in the third floor unit right above me. Eventually the water find a way to stream down the building and leaking into my unit through seams of my slide door frame. Is the third floor unit owner responsible for paying my damage?

Thank you for reading my question.

Almost certainly, yes.

Feel free to contact me directly for free initial consultation or to help you handle this.

Answer

If the is a rental property, it is the Owner's responsibility for not providing proper drainage or a canopy above your door. If this is a Condo, then subject to the Condo rules it is the responsibility of the Condo Assn to fix the problem, your damage is probably not the 3rd floor apt or the associations depending on how the condo docs are written.
