It depends upon the circumstances in which the leak came about, and also upon your individual insurance policy. Insurance policies are contracts, and these contracts state very specifically what is covered and what is not covered. Read the "named perils" section to see what is specifically covered. Read the "exclusions" section to see what is not covered. Please note that under most policies you are obligated to mitigate your damages or coverage may be denied. For instance, if the leak in your roof is causing water damage inside the condominium, you are obligated to do something about it to prevent further damage inside the condo. If after reading your policy you are still uncertain about coverage, you should contact your insurance agent.
