The condo will foot the bill for the plumber and the ceiling repairs, but would a condo association normally be responsible for the dry cleaning? I feel like that&#8217;s the reason people should have their own insurance, and if the renters didn&#8217;t have renters insurance that&#8217;s on them. If we imagine the situation in the extreme, would paying for dry cleaning now set a precedent that we&#8217;d need to pay for an apartment&#8217;s worth of personal property if the whole unit flooded, etc?<br \/>\nOr on the other hand, should we pay it since it&#8217;s so minor and probably smaller than our insurance deductible, while larger damage would be an insurance issue. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I live in an 8-unit self-managed condo in Boerum Hill, and recently one of the sprinkler pipes leaked through the ceiling of another unit, causing damage to the ceiling but also soaking some clothes that the renters say need dry cleaning.
