Generally, the association is responsible for repairing common, or shared, elements. The homeowners are responsible for maintaining their own homes.
But, there are two problems. Here is where it gets confusing:
1) Some areas are neither common nor part of your home. These are called exclusive or limited-use common areas and they are available only to one or few residents.
2) Ownership and responsibility for repair and/or replacement are not always the same thing.
So, how do we determine who is responsible in these scenarios?
If your CC&R is silent on the issue, speak up! Request the information from your community manager. He/she has dealt with this question in the past and will be able to provide you with a clear answer?
Don’t assume anything. If there is an issue with what appears to be a common element, then ask!
