You Live Where?

In the densely populated country of Puzzlaria, it is a law that residences must be at least 6 story buildings to accomodate more people. The following Puzzlarians live in the same building:

Chris
Cam
Knightmare
Karl
Ragknot
Curtis

In Puzzlaria, most Puzzlarian comments seem to be puzzling, and also not very clear... ;-).
When a visitor asked on which level of the building do they reside, the building manager stated the following:

1. Chris does not live above the third level.
2. Neither Knightmare nor Ragknot lives above either Karl or Curtis.
3. Curtis does not live below Chris or Cam, and does not live above Karl.
4. Ragknot does not live below Cam or above Chris.

What a puzzling situation ...

On what level of the 6 story building do these Puzzlarians reside?

Chris ... thanks for the wisdom concerning frequency of posts ... by posting fewer, each gets more in depth consideration, better thoughts, and more intriguing comments.

1. Chris <= 3
2. Knightmare < Karl
3. Knightmare < Curtis
The statements about Ragknot and karl or curtis do not simplify the problem.
4. Chris, Cam < Curtis < Karl
5. Cam < Ragknot < Chris
Taking statements 1 and 5 and assuming 1 resident per floor(is this a valid assumption?) the first three floors are
1.Cam
2.Ragknot
3.Chris
and statments 3 and 4 give us
4. Knightmare
5. Curtis
6. Karl
