Any upgrades to your condo, things like counter tops or cabinets that you couldn’t take with you if you left.
Condo Corp
The condo corporation is responsible for insuring the building itself, but if their insurance is inadequate each condo unit owner can be asked to kick in. You have an allowance just in case.
