After a hurricane, the building’s deductible becomes the owners’ bill. At Bentley Residences, one line in your own policy decides how much of it you pay yourself.
This page is a framework. Whether the building suits you is a separate conversation. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.
The association insures the structure under a master policy whose windstorm deductible is a percentage of the building’s insured value, so on a large tower it is a large sum. After a storm the association pays the deductible and any uninsured repair, then recovers them from the owners by special assessment, each paying the share the declaration sets.

The Bentley Residences dossier holds the developer’s published record. Read it against the Kempinski Residences Miami Design District dossier for the nearest comparison.
Loss assessment coverage is the part of an owner’s HO-6 policy that reimburses an assessment levied after a covered loss. Florida requires every owner’s policy to carry a minimum amount of it. That minimum is small against a deductible share on a waterfront tower, so owners often raise the limit by endorsement.
Bentley Residences: The position is as the dossier records.
Some policies cap what they pay toward the master deductible. An assessment for wear, a code upgrade or thin reserves is not a loss assessment at all. Flood follows its own policy.
What is the master windstorm deductible, and against what insured value? What share of common expenses does this residence carry? What limit would match that share? Does the policy pay a deductible assessment in full or under a cap? The desk reads the budget with you and introduces an agent for the policy.
Your share of the building’s deductible is a number. Insure the number, not the minimum.

We hold no listings and we are not the developer. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier and we will tell you what applies to your situation, what does not, and where we would not proceed. On this topic that means the document before the opinion. Where a question is legal, tax or structuring, we introduce you to advisers who handle that properly rather than answering it ourselves.
