Upon seeking compensation from the insurance company, I was informed that any damage would be the responsibility of the corporation but when I approached the Board, I was told that it was my responsibilâ€" ity to repair the leak. Is it also true that I should cover the damage to my neighbors unit caused by this leakage? C. Page Dear Seepage: We have owned a condo unit for several years which we have rented to a single perâ€" son who has just moved out. We have moved in, only to find that the extra bathâ€" room which had never been used by the renter, has sprung a leak at the bathtub faucet and water has leaked into the unit below, causing some damage, both to the neighbors and our unit.

SUE HODGE* Ambrose Bierce, in his Devil‘s Dictionary, defined responsibility as a detachable burden easily shifted to the shoulders of God, Fate, Fortune, Luck or one‘s neighbor. In the days of astrology it was customary to unload it upon a star." Unfortunately for your insurance compaâ€" ny the burden for covering the damages caused by the faulty faucet in your unit lies squarely upon their shoulders (less of course amount of the deductible which comes out of your pocket). In these days of insurance coverage, it is usually the insurance company‘s custom to try and unload the consequences of disaster upon the shoulders of another party â€" any party be it the third party or the competition. If you will look at the Condominium QUIET CRS. â€" GREAT BUY op POWER OF SALE!! Ister 24 ht page Canada Trust Realty Inc./Realtor MEL WHITE* Had the leak occurred within the walls and outside your unit‘s boundaries and in piping that served other units as well as yours, then the responsibility for the damâ€" age would have been covered by the corpoâ€" ration‘s policy and it would have been up to the corporation to repair any damage and compensate the owners for any loss as a result. Since your bathtub is well within the walls, ceiling and floor of your unit, then the leak has developed inside your unit and any damage is obviously your responsibility. Looking at your description you should find under "Unit Specification" that your Unit Boundaries are clearly defined both horizontally and vertically. Act, you will find that in Section 41â€"(4) it clearly states "The Owner must keep everyâ€" thing in good repair, that the description says is part of his unit." 1514 PRINCETON CR.
