THE ESSENTIALS
Before you start
- Record movement and damage.
- Separate possibilities from conclusions.
- Identify relevant maintenance.
Distinguish the situations
MAPFRE lists property-owner liability among condominium benefits. The presence of that heading does not determine liability for a particular incident.

Fictional example
Fictional example: the gate closes while Sofia leaves the garage. She photographs damage safely and informs the administrator. The administrator obtains maintenance records and reports the event, identifying differing accounts without deciding blame in advance. A possible sensor fault remains a hypothesis until assessed. Repairing the car and examining the gate are treated as separate tasks.
Put the distinction to work
Assemble the location, date, sequence of movement and relevant technical interventions. Preserve images through appropriate channels instead of distributing them in a group chat. Where there is danger, stop unsafe use through the competent procedures. Use the home multirisk guide to ask RMACHADO GROUP for help organising the report and finding the relevant benefit, without anticipating a decision on responsibility or compensation.
