I am health life, recently got my P&C license so I know enough to know I don't know a lot. Have a few questions about homeowners associations. Belong to one, don't really have a choice as it is a small neighborhood. My question is: is neglect and/or inaction by a board a potential cancellation by the insurance company? We have real issues with our pool, lake and tennis courts where I live. There is money in the coffers to fix certain items, but the board has chosen to sit on a bunch of cash for a "rainy day" and because the economy sux and they don't want to spend any money right now. I have requested a copy of the policy so I can read it. They have said they would send it to me to review, but right after I requested it they padlocked the tennis courts until further notice. We were supposed to have a team playing out of here, with visiting neighborhoods starting in Sept. Guess that's off. Which imho is a good idea since it is an accident waiting to happen with large cracks and surface coming up everywhere. Looks real nice for potential buyers (NOT), but that's another issue.
The way I see it, it should work in much the same way a homeowners policy would. If you get coverage, and your property is in good shape when the policy is taken out, there is still a duty by the homeowner to maintain that property in a reasonable manner so as not to cause a potential hazard. I would think it would work in the same way with a homeowners association policy as well. I don't want to be involved in any lawsuits. Didn't think to find out when I moved here a few years ago. Geez health life is much less complicated! Thanks in advance for any responses.
