Bill > HB1211

This bill amends Maryland law concerning condominiums to clarify unit owner responsibility for damage. Specifically, it states that if the cause of damage or destruction to any part of a condominium originates from a unit, the owner of that unit is responsible for the entire cost of repairing or replacing the damaged portion, including restoration to match the rest of the condominium if it's not rebuilt. This is a shift from previous law where a unit owner's responsibility for such damage was capped at $10,000, with the remainder being a common expense covered by all unit owners. The bill also mandates that the council of unit owners, which is the governing body of the condominium, must annually inform each unit owner in writing about their responsibility for full repair costs if damage originates from their unit, and also about their potential responsibility for a portion of the condominium's property insurance deductible if damage originates from common elements or an external event.
