Cohousing-L Mailing List: insurance

[Leah (drsweetie]

We are being our own developers in a 13 unit coho here in Ashland, Oregon. We 
have recently been told by the builder that the laws regarding insurance have 
changed, and that we may now be required to carry insurance for "latent 
defects". This is supposed to be insurance that would cover potential lawsuits 
if something was discovered to be wrong years after we move in. A phone call to 
an insurance agent tells us that insurance of this type could cost as much as 
1/2 mill dollars, which would guarantee that our project will not happen. Does 
anyone else have experience with this?
