    It depends who’s responsible for the leak.  Most times you would claim on your home and contents and bill the culprit (the Owners Corp or the upstairs neighbour, depending who is culpable, for any excess you might have on the claim).

    If your insurer refuses the claim or if you don’t have insurance, then you would bill the Owners Corp or the upstairs neighbour for the damages.

    NB: This isn’t really a strata law issue – it’s more of a small claims court deal.
