Neighbour stain
A neighbour’s ceiling stain is a building file. Stay factual.
The useful response is access, a timeline, and one investigator. The useless response is two owners diagnosing each other through the floor.
Do not admit a cause you have not seen.
You can admit you will cooperate. Cause is a finding.
Call the manager the same day.
Ask for a coordinated look at both suites.
Photograph your own ceilings and fixtures now.
A dry upstairs bathroom is a fact. Hiding from the visit is not.
Questions people ask
Should I offer cash to make it go away?
Informal cash often fails when hidden damage appears. Notify the building and get a record.
Can they come into my suite tonight?
Through the building’s process. Not by forcing a door.
