HB 1211 Maryland House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Condominiums - Unit Owner Responsibility for Damage or Destruction

This bill changes who pays for repairs in condo buildings based on where damage originates. If damage starts in a unit (e.g., a leaky pipe in a specific apartment), the unit owner must cover the full repair costs - not just the insurance deductible. For damage from common areas or outside events (like a storm), the condo association covers the deductible. The bill requires associations to send owners an annual written notice detailing these responsibilities. It applies to residential condos but excludes non-residential buildings.
