Internal leakage between flats in a society can be a tricky issue to deal with. According to the old bye-laws, the society was responsible for both external and internal leakage of the property. However, in the new bye-laws, it is specified that the flat owner will be responsible for the internal leakage.
If the leakage is from the upper flat, the responsibility to carry out repairs lies with the owner of the above flat. This is because the source of leakage is located inside their property.
It is recommended that the society should pass a resolution at the AGM that the expense on leakage of flat, specifically internal leakage, will be shared equally by all the three parties, namely, one share by the member from whose flat leakage is originating, one share by the member residing below that is the sufferer, and one share by the society.
If the flat owner is refusing to cooperate and share the cost, you can serve a legal notice on the flat owner as well as the society.
