I'm living in 8th floor and my sis live in 11th floor in the same flat due to some event happened. They're almost perfectly parallel with each other vertically. We agree it would be stupid to pay for two internet connections.
What to do in order to get this two units also can receive unifi connection if i only install the unifi at 11th floor? or is there any technician that can recommend?
tq

Run a cable if possible.

Or use wifi but place the wifi access point or antenna, weatherproof units of course, outside the apartment. If you have windows on the same face of the building then it's no problem to main line-of-sight. 3 floors vertically is less than 40ft so it's not a problem.

Can't do much indoors as wifi will have a really hard time going thru 3 floors of reinforced concrete.

Yes, cable between 8th and 11th, one end is UniFi router, other end can be a switch or wifi access point.

Nope. one end will need to have 1 x modem and 1 x wifi router, both supplied by TM. Then you pull a cable from this router to the other apartment and on that end you have another wifi router except this one won't be doing any routing. It'll just act as a wifi ap and switch.

need to make sure your cable from 11th floor to 8th floor does not obstruct your neighbors else they will cut your cable
