It is the same as with any move-in/move-out. The owners' association has nothing to do with it.

What do you mean by that?
The damage was caused by an owner of an apartment!
That means if an owner damages the common property, the owners' association is never liable through their house fees?
So the damage must always be borne by the perpetrator himself through his private liability insurance? That would be fair!

One should also consider a homeowner’s liability insurance. This covers, for example, damage caused by falling roof tiles or a person falling on a snowy sidewalk...

That would be fair, but how can the perpetrator be identified now? The developer will not cover it anymore, unless the scratch was there before acceptance and was recorded. If the perpetrators (the tenant/owner) do not come forward, the damage will probably fall on the homeowners' association, or it will just remain...

Why should the community also be liable if you smash the front door (e.g., break a glass panel)? You are damaging someone else's property – the community property does not belong to you alone. That would be nice – I need new windows, "accidentally" break them, and the community pays. Simply put: The one who damages something is liable.

Sure, if there is no guilty party, they cannot be held liable (like with parking lot hit-and-runs and the popular sport of fleeing the scene). But the thread was actually about moving in. That means the person moving in is always present - and in case of doubt responsible for ensuring that the repair is carried out.
