You will have to read the fine print of the bylaws to see how it is handled.
Your governing documents, including board meeting minutes, which may have addressed the phenomenon that attracts squirrels -- such as a bird feeder -- will give you the answer you need.It depends on the specific circumstances and the terms outlined in the condo association's bylaws or governing documents. In some cases, the condo association may be responsible for repairing mold damage if it is a result of common areas or shared systems. However, if the mold damage is due to the negligence of a unit owner or resident, they may be held responsible for the repairs. It is best to consult the condo association's governing documents and speak with the association board for specific information.
Whether the association is liable to pay for the repairs depends on the terms of your condo association's governing documents and local laws. Generally, the association may be responsible for damages caused by pipe failure, but it is best to consult with a legal professional or review your association's governing documents to determine the specifics of your situation.
no but trying to If a condo owner falls more than 90 days in arrears of association, the right to use common areas can be suspended by the association until such dues are paid.
Yes, in a word. If your water is paid for by the assessments you promised to pay when you purchased your unit, and you do not pay your assessments, then the association can deny you access to services, including water, for which you refuse to pay. Read your governing documents to more fully understand both your responsibility to pay assessments, and the association's duty to collect them, and the lengths to which the association can go to satisfy your debt.
If a condo resident can't pay an association assessment, the repercussions can vary depending on the bylaws of the association and state laws. Typically, the association might first reach out to the resident to discuss payment arrangements. If the resident continuously fails to make payments, the association may resort to more serious actions, from charging late fees and interest, to placing a lien on the property, or even pursuing a foreclosure. The key is early, open communication to prevent things from escalating. Address the issue as early as possible to find a solution. I've seen similar situations in buildings we managed at Daisy and what worked best was proactive communication and working out a reasonable payment plan.
An insurance company covers damage to the property if you bought a Homeowners Insurance Policy. They cannot force you to do anything except to pay for the coverage. A landlord of a house you live in, or a condo association can force you to pick up damaged patio cover because it is unsightly and ruins the look of the Condo. Read the Association Laws.
It often is considered that and often a person's policy on their personal condo will extend to pay up to $500 of the Association's deductible. Could be less than $500 depending on how much the Association's deductible is and how many COA members there are.

Read your governing documents to determine which actions your association can take in order to collect assessments that you owe and do not pay. As well, it's reasonable, for example, that if you don't pay your monthly assessments, and the association pays your electric bill from assessments that are collected, that they can deny electric service to you, since you aren't paying for it.
Your answer depends on h ow the unit is air conditioned. If you own the air conditioner, you pay for it. If the association air conditions the entire building, you pay for it in your assessments.
If you live in a second floor condo and you rent the condo, the leak that causes damage is the responsibility of the owner of the building. If you own the condo, the leak is the responsibility of the owner of the condo with the leak.
You can find the answer you want in your governing documents. There, you can find out who owns the window. If you own it, then you are responsible; if the association owns it, then the association is responsible. (The mystery issue is: what is a 'window'? What is included in the definition? The glass? The casing? The screens? The framing? Your governing documents and your association may or may not have defined this variable.) Your first task will be to repair the damage. Water intrusion always leads to mold, so it is imperative that the leak damage be repaired, and the source identified and also repaired. As soon as possible. There may be a difference here between who is responsible to pay and who is responsible to repair. Contact your HO-6 policy broker and describe the situation. The broker can help you by working with the association's master policy carrier to repair and to pay.
