Don't Get Soaked: What Your Condo/HOA Needs to Know to About Who Maintains, Repairs, and Pays to Prevent and Clean Up Water Damage Thursday, April 16,
2026
2-3 p.m. Eastern An Exclusive HOAleader.com Webinar with Practical Tips for Condo and HOA Boards |
We can't tell you how many requests we've gotten recently from HOAleader.com readers for more information on how to handle the swamp that is water damage in a community association. This is one of the most confusing and frustrating challenges that arises, not just in condos and townhomes but also in HOAs, where water from common areas creeps into and causes damage to owners' individual
units. Sometimes documents are confusing. Sometimes they're simply silent. Are you just supposed to wing it when it comes to who's responsible to pay and maintain property to prevent water intrusion and to pay and fix owners' property when water escapes into their units. We got you. Join an in-depth webinar on April 16 with two community association lawyers who have provided extensive guidance to their clients on these issues will walk you through the steps to take to smartly and consistently address
these. You'll get easy-to-understand information on: - The steps you and the owners involved should take immediately to contain the problem
- What governing documents provisions to review to determine whose job it is to maintain and repair building components that can contribute to water damage
- The provisions that will guide you in identifying who's responsible for repairing the damaged property
- How to figure out who pays for repairs, regardless of who caused the damage?
- What to do when your documents are silent on critical issues in your analysis
- What to know about owners and association insurance when it comes to getting reimbursed for the
cost of repairs
- The pros and cons of association documents that allow only the association to conduct repairs but then allow the cost of those repairs to be assessed back to owners
- Tips for amending your governing documents to more clearly identify who's responsible for
what
- And much more!
In 60 quick minutes, you'll receive a roadmap that helps you avoid confusion and tension when you're already dealing with a stressful emergency situation. Register now for this informative event for community
association board members. |
