HO3 - HOA requiring owner to pay or file individual claim for roof damage after hurricane
We live in a townhome in Florida with an HOA. For context, we do have an HO3 policy. After Hurricane Milton, we sustained damage to the roof of our unit, which caused leakage into our garage.
We notified the HOA after seeing the damage, and we were advised that when there is a “named storm”, the individual owners are responsible for paying for roof repairs. The HOA coordinated repair with the company that services our roofs, and we were advised we could pay out of pocket or file a claim with our own individual insurance company. The amount is $2000, but our hurricane deductible is much larger, so we will elect to pay out of pocket IF it’s accurate that HOA is off the hook.
We have a copy of our bylaws but cannot see where we are responsible for this repair. All other times where there have been roof leaks, the HOA covers repairs. We asked the board members to point to where in our bylaws that it states we are responsible, but they refuse to answer.
Does anyone have any insight? I will also post this to the HOA sub.
Thank you!
