Does insurance pay for legal help?
My condo was flooded by the upstairs condo on January 8th. Thank you polar vortex. The condo association insurance eventually took over, long story, and it took 3.5 months to repair everything. I gave the tenant a $500/month break for 4 months. She recently sent a scathing letter from her attorney, actually just a draft, and demanded all the rent back from the 4 months, or else. I hired an attorney to answer to hers. That's where it stands now. I was just wondering if I should bring this up to my insurance or would it cause my insurance to go up? I don't know if they'd help pay for any of the legal fees or not. Thus far they're not real expensive.
