The Maryland Court of Appeals decided on April 15, 2008 that the Condo Act does not require a condominium to repair or replace property of an owner in an individual condominium unit after a casualty loss. Only damage to common elements or the structure of a condominium need be covered. For the text of the decision, click here. For an analysis of what this means by a noted Washington lawyer, go to "Condo Associations Don't Have to Pay for Damage to Units, Md. Court Says" under the Benny Kass tab under "Publications."
