If a condo unit owner had a water leak that damaged my unit how do I take them to court? Can I do it myself to save on a attorney? If not how much approx would a attorney cost for this? Thanks

    Have you tried filing a claim against their insurance first? What was the nature of the leak and the extent of the damage?

    It caused a ton of water damage and mold totaling 15k. I am trying to contact them now and hope they have liability insurance. I just want to be prepared if they don’t and I have to take them to court.

    @Brad Warshaw

    From your other thread:

    "I bought a condo at the auction that has water damage and mold in excess of 15k to repair."

    You bought the condo knowing it had water and mold damage?

    Did you do your due diligence before buying?

    I clearly stated I bought at the auction. If you are familiar with the auctions you wouldn’t even have had to waste your time writing that. Thx

    Aren't most auctions "as is" purchases? Who would you have recourse against?

    The owner of the unit that has the leak that caused the damage. It is as is but this was damage from another unit and the leak is active.

    Was the damage existing before you purchased? If so, then you have loss to sue for.
