Is Community Associations Underwriters related to the Community 
Associations Institute?

Did they decline for the same reason Middlesex is canceling?

I think it is important that we keep track of these so we can all 
benefit from understanding exactly why these actions are taken and how 
they can be avoided or corrected they are in error.

Agents who review your property are not always correct in their 
assessments and a simple additional coverage may be available. Or the 
problem of power tools may be addresses with more security and/or an 
exclusion for that area.
