I live in a apartment and own my house, above is renting, usually nice people, however some weird women has move in and has flooded me 5 times in one month !and I got an electric shock of the socket. She somehow thinks I am responsible for getting a plumber to fix it and so on. Anyway I got sick of it and got the council to serve notice on her to stop having baths, (she can still have a shower ensuite is fine). She went crazy and has sent me 2 really horrible notes and does not seem to realise it is a fire risk and damaging my property what do i do???

Evict her, and if you can't do it yourself then get the law to do it by suing her.

Make a negotiation, you want to keep your property from flood and she want to have baths.
You may get a plumber to fix it and make she pay the bill. Tell her that it's all her responsible to fix the pipe line that came from her room.
If she does not agree with you, tell her that you will sue her and she will have to pay more because you will win in this case.
If she does not listen, sue her!

calmly ask her WHY she is flooding u
maybe you are bothering her in some way that you do not know
if that doesnt work sue her
or be really really really (I MEAN REALLY ) nice to her and she will be surprised and maybe will stop all that flooding
ALSO explain that it is damaging your property and so on ...
invite her to have coffee and explain things calmly
REVENGE
.... (im putting random stuff you can try ) ....
maybe she is really weird and needs to go on the hospital for some mental checkup
also maybe you should just listen to her and get a plumber and so on
....also how does she flood you? ... (just asking)

File a claim against the liability portion of her Renter's Insurance if she has it. You can do this through your policy and let your insurance company subrogate against her's. If she doesn't have Renter's coverage, your only option is to sue her for the damage she's caused you.

You did the smart thing. Obviously, she is clueless. I have experienced the same problem with my neighbor who floods their apartment from both overrun bathtub and washing machine! Management doesn't care, and neighbor doesn't care. Glad that some people can take serious action.

Sue her for damaging your property.
Small claims are cheap and work wonders. Most attorneys even include their fees at her cost.

Put the squeeze on her with a restraining order. If she contacts youo then you can have her evicted.
