1. It is the responsibility of each unit owner to read all
condominium documents (Executive Summary, Declaration, Bylaws, and Rules &
Regulations) along with the commercial insurance policy covering MVCA when
deciding how to insure their unit. Each unit owner is authorized and encouraged
to carry additional insurance, including casualty insurance for the full
replacement value of the unit owner’s interest in the unit, limited common
elements, and personal property, together with liability insurance. It may be beneficial to unit owners to
purchase insurance from the same company that insures the Association to best
facilitate payment of claims in case a dispute arises between the MVCA
Commercial claims adjustor and an owner’s personal claims adjustor.
