In terms of the spirit of the Constitution and the Civil Code, as well as specific provisions, the premise for citizens to exercise their personal right to freedom is that they must not interfere with the freedom of others.

If your bathroom is now being added and remodeled after the house was built, then you definitely can't do that.

But if it's built like this when the house is built, then you don't have to worry about any legal issues. Unless there is a water leak or other situation affecting the residents downstairs, you are only responsible for repairing and repairing the leak. Of course, repairing and repairing leaks cannot cure the problems that affect the residents downstairs such as water leaks, so you can only abandon this bathroom or move elsewhere, otherwise you will be legally liable, that is, civil liability.

Because the bathroom is a place for sewage and defecation, from the perspective of social morality and etiquette, it is definitely necessary to avoid the bedroom, living room and kitchen of the downstairs neighbor. Although the law does not explicitly stipulate this direct issue, it does clearly stipulate that citizens shall not infringe upon the rights of others when exercising their rights, and these legal provisions contain the spirit of public order and good morals mentioned above. If you're a downstairs resident, you'll be just as angry that the upstairs tenant has put the bathroom above your bedroom and kitchen.

Obviously, your problem is that it belongs to an old house, and there was no bathroom in the house before, or the bathroom was not in your house. If the current residential building is in the same location, but the floor is different, there will be no problem you worry about.

But if your bathroom was built in front of you, and the downstairs dwelling was not built before, but was remodeled later, there is no problem you should avoid. For example, if the first floor of some buildings is a façade, and the second floor is a residence, and later someone converts the façade into a house, and then asks you to remove and rebuild the bathroom, saying that his bedroom or kitchen is just under your bathroom, which affects him, there is no reason for this.

Therefore, the specific situation needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. You can't tell, but my understanding is that your upstairs house and downstairs house are the same, or about the same, and you are going to add a bathroom later, so you can't do that.

The current national standard "Code for Residential Design" (GB 50096-2011).

Bathrooms should not be located directly on the upper floors of the bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens and dining rooms of the lower floors.

When the bathroom is arranged in the upper floor of the bedroom, living room (hall), kitchen and dining room in this suite, there should be waterproof and easy access measures.
