What is the name of your state? Florida
I've had two incidents with my auto. Once while parked behind the building, it was downwind of an overzealous handyman with a can of spray paint and became covered with white paint spots, and once while parked in the underground garage it was dripped on by some rusty crud leaking from an overhead pipe. Both times it required bodyshop work to restore the vehicle.
I paid the spray paint cleanup without complaining, but I presented the bill for the pipe incident to the condo manager. She checked with the Association board (she says) and was told that I park at my own risk, so they are not responsible. Since it wasn't an act of God, nature, or another resident, but their negligence that caused the damage in both incidents, I suspect that they are responsible but are unwilling to accept it.
The condo bylaw makes no mention of this stuff, but a sign on the garage wall states "Park at your own risk". Any thoughts?
I'm a little concerned about this becoming an ongoing problem.
