How to compensate for the leakage of the neighbors downstairs?

The compensation method for water leakage of downstairs neighbors is as follows:

1, the problem of compensation for water leakage in the house is to find the infringer first, whether it is the developer, the tenant or the property. If it is a tenant, the injured party can negotiate with the tenant to see if it can reach an agreement with the other party on the amount of compensation. However, if the two parties cannot negotiate or fail to negotiate, the injured party shall demand compensation from the other party according to the actual losses it has suffered, including the cost of materials for maintaining the house and the labor cost of hiring professionals for maintenance.

2. In case of water leakage caused by the developer or the property management company, the other party may be required to bear the liability for breach of contract according to the contract signed by both parties. If the specific liability for breach of contract is not stipulated in the contract, or the liability for breach of contract is not clear, the other party may be required to bear the corresponding liability for compensation according to the actual loss.
