You consult a local lawyer and issue a strong legal notice giving the details of the damage caused from his side in this regard, with your assessment of the monetary loss towards the damages, besides polluting your atmosphere with drainage water and stench and demand him to fix the problem and also to compensate the fiscal loss.

Failing to yield any response you can either sue them directly by filing a suit for mandatory injunction against them to repair the leakage and to ensure that this is not repeated and also for compensating the loss.

Alternately you can give a complaint to the municipality also in this regard and request for proper action against the neighbour to rectify the problem.

1. As you have rightly suggested send a legal notice to the neighbour to rectify the damage caused and pay you the compensation.

2. Complain to the jurisdictional City Corporation/ Municipal Office about your neighbour and probable spreading of disease as it's stinky resulting in foul smell.

3.  You can a file a case against your neighbour in the jurisdictional Court for nuisance U/s. 268 of IPC.

Yes you can send legal notice and then seek remedy against him in court if requires. You can also complaint in corporation 

Hello,

Given the situation you have described, I would first make the following assumption.

Your property in concern is in India. If so, then to answer to your questions

Could you please advise me on how to go about it? Can we send a legal notice to him?
[A] Yes, you can issue a legal notice to your neighbor seeking the necessary remedy and rectifications of the drainage issue.
If your building has an owners' association, you can also file a written complaint with them. If not, then the above path will be the first step,
Additionally, you can also file a complaint with the local municipality or corporation or panchayat (whichever is collecting property tax from you 
for this property)


How effective it will be if we send a legal notice?
[A] Effectiveness in terms of the person coming forward and correcting the issue based on legal notice? It all depends 
on the person's awareness of the legal consequences.. 
However, this will be the first step towards proceeding with this further legally.


What should we do if he doesn't respond to legal notice? 
[A] You can then approach the civil court and file a civil suit against him. The legal notice will then be attached as part
of you suit and help in your case wherein you have provided sufficient opportunity to the person to come forward and 
remediate the problem.

If your property is outside of India, then the process may be slightly different but mostly it will still remain the same from an
approach perspective. 

Hope this helps

Dear client,

In India, you can think about filing a lawsuit under the Consumer Protection Act of 2019 and claiming that your property was damaged by negligence. Section 133 of the Code of Civil Procedure, which gives a magistrate the authority to compel the removal of a public nuisance, is another option. You might need to speak with a lawyer to investigate your legal alternatives if your neighbor doesn't reply to the legal notice. Some of these choices include registering a complaint with the Consumer Forum or starting a civil lawsuit to recover damages. Documenting proof of the harm and efforts to fix the problem could also help you make a stronger case.

Hope this helps you.

Dear client,

Sending a legal notice in Hyderabad might cost anywhere between ₹3,000 and ₹10,000, depending on the intricacy of the case and the attorney's level of experience. According to Indian law, you can ask the court to order your neighbor to fix the leak by filing a lawsuit under the Specific Relief Act. In addition, you may use the principles of tort law to pursue damages for losses you have incurred as a result of the injury. A civil case may take a variety of lengths, and delays are usual. On the other hand, deadlines for various phases of the legal process are specified in the Code of Civil Procedure. To bolster your case, you must obtain proof and meticulously record the damages. Even though some civil lawsuits could drag on for years, aggressive legal tactics, such as mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution, may help hasten the resolution process.

Hope this helps you.
