Condo Information

[Edonis]

To summarize a long story, I had water damage to my condo through no fault of my own and was agreed to be paid for the damage by the condo association. But they keep making excuses now why they won't pay. I want to take them to court over the money but my two questions are
1. Who do I file the siut against?
2. What court do I use? ex. small claims court?

First, write the association's insurance company directly and file your claim with them. The company may be willing to pay & the condo association is just not putting the claim through in an effort to prevent premium hikes. If that doesn't work,
1. File against the condo association and send a copy of the complaint to their insurance company.
2. File in small claims only if your total damages + costs of suit are less than the maximum award the small claims court can give you. If your damages are higher, file in district court (the next court up).
