Background...
I have lived in an upstairs apartment for about 6 months and the first day the down stairs neighbor told me that the guy who lived above him was noisey and 'slamed' around weights in his apartment and that he could hear it. Two days after I moved in (the day the movers came) the guy asked me to stop moving my furniture because it 'knocks' the pictures off his walls and 'scares' his cat. Two weeks later I had gotten the bottom step replaced on our stairwell cause it was loose and he said "thanks for raising the rent". Two months ago he called me in at 3:00pm because I was making noise... I wasn't even home. Last week I got called in again at 5:15pm because I droped a pan on the floor while doing dishes. (all of this and he waits behind my truck when I come home for 15 min two different times, while I am on the phone, Just to ask me what my fish (Jesus fish) on the back of my truck mean)
Now here is where my questions comes in to place. Last night at 8:30pm I did the dishes and my sink has just recently (two days) have been dripping non-stop and filled up my sink and over flowed the sink leaking onto the floor. I was awaken at 10:30 pm only two hours later and it was the mantence gal that said that I had a leak and came rushing in to make sure there wasn't a leak in the pipe line. Then finding that it was the sink that had over flowed. She stated that it was leaking into the neighbors apartment below me and there was A LOT of water. Now how is it that in two hours that a small drip from a sink made it's way to the neighbors down stairs so much so that they have that much water? Wouldn't that mean that there isn't a lot of stuff between the floors? (and that would explain why he can hear every time I walk arcoss the floor) and will I have to pay for the leak?
