Situation is that a flat I let out suffered water damage caused by a leak from the flat above it. Both flats are managed by the same property management Company, there is a block policy covering the flats.
The claim was made on the policy and I've been asked to pay the excess, some £300.
My thoughts are that the claim should actually have been made against the flat above mine ( forgive poor English ) and the excess, given the damage was from a leak from the flat above, due from the owner ( who rents it out. )
The management company will not give me contact details for the landlord so I would not be able to pursue via the Small Claims Court if I actually am liable.
Am I liable? Should the excess have been paid by the landlord in the first place? Etc
TIA
