First steps after flooding
Switch off electricity at the breaker. Shut off the water. Photograph and video all damage. Notify building FM. Notify the neighbour below. Contact your insurer if you have a policy.
Who pays for flood damage repairs
Neighbour above caused the flood — their liability, you can claim compensation. Pipe burst inside a wall — landlord’s responsibility. Failed flexible hose under the sink — tenant’s responsibility if the leak was not reported promptly.
How to claim from a neighbour
Document damage thoroughly — photos, video, contractor estimate. Send a written demand to the neighbour. If refused — RERA Community Management or Dubai Courts Small Claims.
