Building Administrative Committee Insurance
According to the Immovable property law of 1993 and its amendments “The Management Committee must insure and always keep insured the jointly- owned building against fire, lightning and earthquakes with a licensed underwriter for the sum which the Management Committee considers as corresponding to its replacement value. For any other risks insurance is Compulsory, only if this decided by a percentage of the owners above fifty percent (50%)”.
This insurance can be extended to cover the apartments of the building to fully protect all the owners from potential financial insolvency in case of total or partial destruction to the building and its apartments.
