Neighbors in the apartment downstairs complain about water leakage from my apartment?

It is probably old pipes or something, we don't know. It might even not be from my apartment, eventhough that seems the most likely. They want me to fix it at my own expense. I wish to know, legally, who is responsible for fixing the pipes?

Both of us own the apartments, so there is no landlord involved. In addition to this, there is no insurance. So, is fixing the supposedly leaking pipes my responsibility or the responsibility of the neighbors complaining about that?

If it's coming from your apartment, it's your responsibility to call a plumber or fix it yourself. I suggest you first figure out exactly where it's coming from and your neighbors can help you with that.
