Condo, water leak from upper floor.

Question

I live in a condo with central air conditioning. The wall where the air conditioner is installed is wet, so I reported it to the superintendent's office, and ten days later they responded that there was a water leak from the air conditioner on the upper floor. However, the owner of the upper floor is not helping me.
Since he admits that the leak is from the upper floor, I would like the owner of the upper floor to pay for the repair cost.

Otto are you an owner ?
If you are an owner, you could ask the manager for the phone number of the owner of the upper floor
I think. Or you could talk to your own real estate.
Old condos are tough because they are deteriorating.

I was the one who caused the inconvenience to the room downstairs. At that time, the condo manager gave me the contact information for the insurance agent for the room downstairs,
and my insurance agent contacted him and had the agents communicate with each other.
So I did not communicate directly with the owner of the room downstairs.
One of the reasons is that the owner was in Japan and owned the property as an investment )


If Mr. Otto is the owner, I think he has homeowner's insurance, so
you should contact the insurance agent once. insurance agent.
By the way, the insurance agent came to check the situation in my downstairs room in the next day or two.


You could ask the manager to get the contact information for the insurance agent for the room upstairs ?
Since you have identified the leak as an upstairs room, I think a sensible owner would
respond quickly.

You can ask for a quick response. Trouble in your room is mentally stressful ….
I hope you can solve the problem as soon as possible.

I have the same experience.
As the person above said, call your insurance company and ask them to come and look
you don't have to go yourself, the person upstairs will also go and look.
It was already a tough one.
A big fan kept spinning in my house for days,
people would come to my house to check on me, it was exhausting.

luna-san, Tonton-san, I don't want to have a leak again, thank you all for your advice.

I am the owner.
My condo would not give me the contact information of the upper floor because they said "out of respect for the owners and tenants, we do not disclose personal information".
They also said that they would not mediate any communication with the upper floor and that I should talk to them directly.
The management office also has several staff members, so the answer seems to vary depending on who replies.

When we discovered the damage, we naturally reported it to the management office and the insurance company, and told them to come and see the damage, but neither of them moved.
Ten days after the report, I was told, "The leak turned out to be from the air conditioning system on the upper floor. Contact your insurance company if you need repairs".

After repeating the question many times and finally after more than a month, I received an email saying, "As I told you before, report the leak to the insurance company and proceed with the repairs. ( OTTO )'s insurance company will contact the insurance company on the upper floor.

However, there is no assurance that the insurance company upstairs will pay for the repairs, and given the unfriendly and unqualified response so far, I am thinking that I will end up paying for the repairs myself.

Thank you all for your advice. There are management offices and insurance companies like this. I would love to give them my actual name, but I won't.

What to do if you have a corona while in Hawaii

Problem / Need advice

Hello. I am very sorry for this elementary question.
I am going to Hawaii in late February,
( I am going to Niu Health for a checkup )
If I am infected with corona, I cannot go back to Japan ?
in that case, I will have to take medical treatment at home ( or in my case at his house ).
I have already reported my dates to ESTA and my flight needs to be cancelled
so will it be treated as illegal stay ?
if I want to extend my stay? ?
I am sorry, but if someone has time, please reply.
Thank you very much.

According to the following, you can extend your stay in the form of a renewal, not an extension of ESTA.
However, the maximum stay is 90 days.

https://www.estaform.org/faqs/can-i-extend-my-esta-while-in-the-us#:~:text=When%20you%20are%20travelling%20to,can%20be%20renewed%2C%20not%20extended.&text=So%2C%20if%20your%20plans%20change,applied%20for%20your%20existing%20one.

Does alohawa's current plan have you staying until just before 90 days? Is it your current plan to stay until the end of the 90 days?
In that case, I wonder what will happen if you get a corona, but
I think the US is flexible in dealing with such situations.
If that happens, would you consult with the Japanese Consulate General in Honolulu and explain the situation to the U.S. department in charge?

I see you can renew ! I think that part is ok since I am only going for 5 days this time.
I was worried that if I stayed longer than the number of days I had applied for, such as ESTA, I would be in the country illegally.
Thank you.

You should also purchase insurance in case you become infected during your stay. Although Hawaii has peaked out, the number of infected people is still high. I was recently infected, and although the recent corona is said to be mild or asymptomatic, I had more than mild symptoms and was taken care of in the emergency room. I recommend travel insurance that covers corona as well.

For your reference
1、U.S. citizen can enter Japan and be issued tourist visa by the immigration bureau at the airport. \2, Japanese spouse visa is not applicable (this visa is only for Japanese spouse of foreign nationals living in Japan)
3, You should ask the consulate in L.A. for information regarding the new pneumonia.

First of all, I think it is important to check the official announcement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ( at the URL below. Also, each individual's situation is different, so it would be best to contact the consulate for more information.

You're asking what's going on now ? w

It would be sure and kinder to call the consulate and ask.

It seems like the only people here are poor losers who are abandoned and hated by society, mounted BBAs who have no friends, and single people who have retired and run off with bored wives.

Sorry for the second topic.
I am planning to go to Hawaii from Narita,
I am not sure about the duty free store situation,

I am planning to book what I want to buy on JDF, the reservation site,
Is the Chanel cosmetics department open ?

. The item I am planning to buy is not sold at Chanel online either
I plan to buy it at Ala Moana or duty free store. ( Duty free store is much more reasonable... )
please reply if you know the situation.
Thank you very much.
