To control the wet boundary, water tracking along the base of a shared wall is usually coming from a neighboring unit or a line inside that wall.
Your downstairs neighbor knocks about their ceiling
To control the wet boundary, that means water left your unit, and the source is usually a tub, a toilet, a washer or a supply line inside your walls.
The corridor carpet outside your door is dark
Through the final dry check, hallway water often comes from a corridor riser, a sprinkler line or a unit further down the run.
A light fixture or bathroom exhaust drips
Through the final dry check, water arriving through an electrical fixture means it has crossed live components above your ceiling.
Maintenance has been in twice for the same spot
