Pennsylvania-
I own a condo and have my own policy, plus the Association has a policy.
My upstairs neighbors had a leak in their bathroom which caused $10,000 worth of damage to my condo.
The Associations policy covered the damage minus their $1000 deductibe.
At first, my insurance adjuster said my personal policy would act as secondary insurance and I would just need to pay $500, since that is the deductible on my insurance policy. Now they say that they are not paying the $500, so I need to cover the $1000 deductible.
I feel that the owners of the above unit should pay the $1000 deductible. I have sent them a letter and would like to file in small claims court. Would i have a case against them? I do have in writing from my condo association that the damage was caused by the unit above me.
