Condominium Association responsible for heavy rain damage?

[Jeremiah Dye]

I am on my Condo association board and over the weekend we had heavy rains which caused flash flooding here in Colorado Springs. A condo homeowner got some water into her unit and wants the association to pay to clean it up. I’m new at this, but I don’t think flooding/ heavy rains is the association’s liability. Unless one of our gutters was aiming directly at the front door( which it isn’t). Has anyone ran into this before and can give feedback? I’m afraid if we are nice and do this for them, then it’s what we do and have to do it for everyone. I do think the association can act prudently and start a project to ensure rain water runs off and this doesn’t occur again though.
