Can you call the police if the water leaks from upstairs to downstairs?

Legal analysis: Yes, upstairs leaks, and downstairs suffers. If you call the police for help, the police will generally not accept it. It is suggested to directly consult the upstairs owner to solve the compensation, or to find the staff of the property company to coordinate and mediate. If mediation fails, a civil lawsuit may be brought to the civil court of the people's court.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).

Article 266 A private person enjoys ownership of his lawful income, house, articles for daily use, tools for production, raw materials and other immovable and movable property.

Article 945 Where an owner decorates a house, he shall inform the property service provider in advance, obey the reasonable prompt of the property service provider, and cooperate with him to conduct necessary on-site inspection. If the owner transfers, rents out the exclusive part of the property, establishes the right of residence or changes the use of part of the property, it shall promptly inform the property service provider of the relevant information.
