## What do you think? Question:

![flooded-garage](http://www.condoassociation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/flooded-garage.jpg?width=228&name=flooded-garage.jpg)I live in a duplex condo. common area driveway floods my garage. The HOA is myself and one other unit member. The other unit member will not help me pay to fix the problem.

The driveway is used to come in and out the premises, so it is clearly common area but the other unit owner believes it is my responsibility, since the water goes into my garage and not theirs.

If I am right, is there some legal recourse I can take to make them help pay to fix the problem? In time, the water will damage the flooring of the garage, which I will have to pay for.
