Condo Q&A

Window water damage - how much should condo owner pay?

All the units (26) in my Massachusetts condo building are installing new windows. When the contractor inspected my five windows, it was discovered that there is major damage from water leakage resulting in advanced rot in both the interior and exterior frame plus non-visible damage to the plastering around the wall where the windows are located. The Condo Trustees expect me to cover the expense of the interior. I think they are incorrect. To make matters worse, I think the source of the damage should be found and then repaired. Two other units have the same damage, not as extreme. What should I expect?
