to carry any other insurance, including workers | ||||||
3 | compensation,

4 | equipment breakdown,
the board of directors considers | ||||||
5 | appropriate to protect the
association, the unit owners, or | ||||||
6 | officers, directors, or agents of the
association.
| ||||||
7 | (e) Insured parties; waiver of subrogation. Insurance | ||||||
8 | policies
carried pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) must | ||||||
9 | include each of the
following provisions:
| ||||||
10 | (1) Each unit owner and secured party is an insured | ||||||
11 | person under
the policy with respect to liability arising | ||||||
12 | out of the unit owner's
interest in the common elements or | ||||||
13 | membership in the association.
| ||||||
14 | (2) The insurer waives its right to subrogation under | ||||||
15 | the policy
against any unit owner of the condominium or | ||||||
16 | members of the unit
owner's household and against the | ||||||
17 | association and members of the board
of directors.
| ||||||
18 | (3) The unit owner waives his or her right to | ||||||
19 | subrogation under
the association policy against the | ||||||
20 | association and the board of
directors.
| ||||||
21 | (f) Primary insurance. If at the time of a loss under the | ||||||
22 | policy
there is other insurance in the name of a unit owner | ||||||
23 | covering the same
property covered by the policy, the | ||||||
24 | association's policy is primary
insurance.
| ||||||
25 | (g) Adjustment of losses; distribution of proceeds. Any | ||||||
26 | loss
covered by the property policy under subdivision (a)(1) |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | must be
adjusted by and with the association. The insurance | ||||||
2 | proceeds for that
loss must be payable to the association, or | ||||||
3 | to an insurance trustee
designated by the association for that | ||||||
4 | purpose. The insurance trustee
or the association must hold any | ||||||
5 | insurance proceeds in trust for unit
owners and secured parties | ||||||
6 | as their interests may appear. The proceeds
must be disbursed | ||||||
7 | first for the repair or restoration of the damaged
common | ||||||
8 | elements, the bare walls, ceilings, and floors of the units, | ||||||
9 | and
then to any improvements and betterments the association | ||||||
10 | may insure.
Unit owners are not entitled to receive any portion | ||||||
11 | of the proceeds
unless there is a surplus of proceeds after the | ||||||
12 | common elements and
units have been completely repaired or | ||||||
13 | restored or the association has
been terminated as trustee.
| ||||||
14 | (h) Mandatory unit owner coverage. The board of directors | ||||||
15 | may,
under the declaration and bylaws or by rule, require | ||||||
16 | condominium unit
owners to obtain insurance covering their | ||||||
17 | personal liability and
compensatory (but not consequential) | ||||||
18 | damages to another unit caused by
the negligence of the owner | ||||||
19 | or his or her guests, residents, or invitees,
or regardless of | ||||||
20 | any negligence originating from the unit. The personal
| ||||||
21 | liability of a unit owner or association member must include | ||||||
22 | the
deductible of the owner whose unit was damaged, any damage | ||||||
23 | not covered
by insurance required by this subsection, as well | ||||||
24 | as the decorating,
painting, wall and floor coverings, trim, | ||||||
25 | appliances, equipment, and
other furnishings.
| ||||||
26 | If the unit owner does not purchase or produce evidence of
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | insurance requested by the board, the directors may purchase | ||||||
2 | the
insurance coverage and charge the premium cost back to the | ||||||
3 | unit owner.
In no event is the board liable to any person | ||||||
4 | either with regard
to its decision not to purchase the | ||||||
5 | insurance, or with regard to the timing of
its purchase of the | ||||||
6 | insurance or the amounts or types of coverages
obtained.
| ||||||
7 | (i) Certificates of insurance. Contractors and vendors | ||||||
8 | (except public
utilities) doing business
with a condominium | ||||||
9 | association under contracts exceeding $10,000 per
year must | ||||||
10 | provide certificates of insurance naming the association, its
| ||||||
11 | board of directors, and its managing agent as additional | ||||||
12 | insured parties.
| ||||||
13 | (j) Non-residential condominiums. The provisions of this | ||||||
14 | Section
may be varied or waived in the case of a condominium | ||||||
15 | community in which
all units are restricted to nonresidential | ||||||
16 | use.
| ||||||
17 | (k) Settlement of claims. Any insurer defending a liability | ||||||
18 | claim
against a condominium association must notify the | ||||||
19 | association of the
terms of the settlement no less than 10 days | ||||||
20 | before settling the claim.
The association may not veto the | ||||||
21 | settlement unless otherwise provided
by contract or statute.
