What’s new?
Starting on October, 1, 2020, the Maryland Condominium Act will allow associations to bill back the Master Policy deductible – up to $10,000 – to the unit owner where the claim originated. Any deductible amount over $10,000 will be a common expense of the association. Prior to this change, the unit owner could be responsible for up to a maximum of $5,000.
What does it mean for me?
This new statute could leave the unit owner with a substantial gap in their personal insurance coverage.
