There is international law to cover this.
You need to meet the standards of an independant nation. The most important standards are:
Defined land boundries: An apartment probally doesn't qualified, especially if there is another above below you. There are nations in exile that only exist on some floor of an office building, but strictly speaking, they claim the former land of thier home country.
The ability to defend your boarders: Here you probally flatly flat. You would need to be able to exclude the police, etc.
The ability to conduct international relations. Here you fail because you don't have enough people to do it. But can out source it! France does this for several countries. It would likely cost more then you have.
A sustainable population. There is no hard and fast rule, but less than 100 is probally too small to be sustainable.
Now, even if you are an independant nation, suing is a another problem. You would have to sue him in an internation court. If the person is above you is in the US, then you're trouble because the US doesn't recognize the authority of such courts except by treaty. So you'd need to join the EU, or at least the UN.
So...you're probally out of luck.

Yeah, right
first you don't own your apartment so you can not declare it as an independent nation, secondly you are invading another countries subterranean space so they will sue you.

You have no "right of declaration" for something you do not own.

You have to get an airplane to use as your Airforce and then use your Airforce to defend your airspace.
