Help! My neighbour upstairs renovated his house but my apartment is affected!

My neighbour upstairs just renovated his house within the last month. Suddenly, I notice there were cracks on quite a few walls of my apartment! I like to know how I can be compensated!!!! My walls were painted very very well a few years ago & never have cracks before. I don't believe it is just a coincidence. The contractor upstairs just came to inspect my apartment & wanted to deny any responsibility!!!! Do I need to appoint an arbitrator? How much does it involve? Can anyone help please?!

1) Inform to Management office
2) Take photos to the cracked area
3) Report to police

Re: Help! My neighbour upstairs renovated his house but my apartment is affecte

Hi JoiseMaMa,

I have already informed the management office. Today they came with the contractor upstairs to inspect my apartment. The contractor tried to shoulder off the responsibility in the first place. Subsequently he said he could not guarantee my walls will not crack again (of course I won't hold him liable in the future). Problem is my walls have been painted some years ago. Since he won't paint all the walls for me, the color of the paint will be different.

I asked the management office to take photos & inform the owner of the apartment upstairs. See if he has bought any 3rd party insurance which I doubt very much. If there is, the insurance company will send a surveyor or arbitrator to inspect my house, then we can proceed on the claim (or be denied! How can we prove it?). Sigh.... very troublesome as I plan to sell my apartment!!!!

This is a civil case. I am afraid the Police won't get involved.

If you have bought any home insurance, you can make a claim through your insurance company.
