Solution

1. H lives three floors above L. H and L lives in same flat. 2. M lives somewhere to the south west of H. 3. I live immediately below M but not to the south west of L.I and M lives in same flat. So, H lives in flat B. H lives on either floor 4 or floor 5. Case I: H lives on floor 4: 4. K lives two floors above N. 5. F lives south east of N, this is not possible in case I(a) and case II, so case I(a), case II(a) and case II(b) are rejected. So, K lives on floor 5 of flat A. N lives on floor 3 of flat A. F lives on floor 2 of flat B.
