Leak from next door
A damp patch or leak can raise questions and concerns. Describe what you see and agree with your neighbours how the cause will be found, without deciding in advance who is at fault. If water is actively coming in, limiting the damage and getting the right help come first.
Start with what you notice
Mention a few specific moments, without blame.
Make one request
One realistic request works better than a list of frustrations.
Agree a follow-up
Check together after a week whether things have improved.
