No matter in an apartment, town house, or single family home, leaks may occasionally occur inside the home. When a leak occurs inside an apartment, follow these steps to remedy the situation:
Try to contain the water and identify the source. If water is all over the kitchen floor, perhaps the sink is leaking. If it is on the bathroom floor, perhaps it is the toilet or tub. Try to contain the water to limit water damage and try to determine the source of the leak.
Submit a service request. When living in an apartment community, residents can and should ask their management team for help and assistance when needed. A leak is definitely a situation in which a resident should contact the maintenance team, and as soon as possible!
Contact maintenance again if the problem arises. Again, don't waste any time reporting leaks. If you notice the leak again, report it immediately to the maintenance and management team.

This is incredibly helpful. Thank you for the tips on what to do -- I hope I never need them, though!
