Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Condo insurance can be messy when a pipe bursts or a roof leaks. This bill tries to clear up who pays the deductible and who covers unpaid losses. It also makes sure units are insured and lets condo boards handle the insurance money to get repairs done. It is a practical fix to prevent fights between neighbors and their associations.
