Question
I have an apartment in the periphery, and now someone bought the apartment below me and claims that the building is old and needs to renovate the columns for safety reasons. I obtained a letter from the municipality stating that the building is not currently considered dangerous. He says he is doing the renovation to prevent the building from becoming dangerous. I currently cannot afford to repair, and he decided to repair without me and claims that I have the obligation to participate in my share of the money, and if not, it is theft. Is this correct?
Answer
Hello
Since it is clear that there is currently no danger, there is no basis to obligate you due to a future concern.
