Deciphering the Declaration — Maintenance, Damage, & Insurance
Why is it so hard to figure out who pays for damage inside a unit? Join us for a conversation with two attorneys who will discuss the differences between governing document provisions on maintenance of units and restoration of damage in units, and how those distinctions may affect who pays for and performs work inside owners’ units.
Some Questions That Will Be Covered Include:

▸ How do insurance (and other) provisions within a Declaration affect liability (payment) and responsibility (performance) to repair damage, especially when caused by individual owners or equipment that owners maintain (such as water heaters)?
▸ Where should managers look in a Declaration for guidance on how liability and responsibility are allocated in the governing documents for each community?
▸ How can the governing documents be revised or augmented (by amendments, policies, or rules) to change the allocation of risk, cost, and responsibility?
▸ How does the College of Community Association Lawyers recommend that Associations allocate costs and risk through insurance and revisions to a community’s governing documents?
