This question is submitted by Elizabeth S. out of Massachusetts

I own a townhouse and the front landscaping caused one basement window to rot. The buildup of the soil and rocks caused the water to flow toward my window rather than away. No other townhouse has this problem. Whose responsibility is it to pay for window replacement?

 

 

Thoughts?
