Thanks for the response Whale.
I’ve been pressuring them to sort it out, and got the building manager to have a look at the adjoining unit (it’s rented out direct from the owner, no agents). He said it looks like there is a problem with the seal between the bathtub and the wall (i think it’s a combined bath/shower which runs along the common wall, hence the reason water is getting through), and contacted the owner to get a plumber.
I believe a plumber is checking it today.
Assuming that is the cause, is the owner of the adjoining unit not responsible for the damage to my unit? (The strata has taken care of repairs the last 2 times, but this time i think the entire carpet is going to need to be replaced, a much bigger job, so i’m not sure yet what will happen – i have insurance but there is still an excess).
Especially seeing as this should have been done as part of the repairs only 3 years ago, are they doing substandard repairs?
If this was the first time i could put it down to wear and tear, but 3 times in 3 years is a bit much.
