Your question will be best answered by the insurance agent or broker who sold you the policy.
Almost nothing in an insurance policy that covers a home is automatically covered if it is not located in the home. And some items in the home may not be covered either, without a special rider. This is especially true of expensive items, such as jewels, furs and so forth.

Water is coming in to condo from another condo which homeowner policy should cover?
If it is a covered water loss, you policy will cover it. If they think the other condo owner is liable, they will pursue them to get their money back. If, according to the CCR's, the associations policy covers it, your insurance will pursue the assoc. insurance. If the association's policy says you neighbor is liable, your insurance company will pursue them to get their money and your deductible back. Your best bet, as I have come across this hundreds of times is to have your insurance company cover it and let all three companies sort it out. This will make your life a lot easier. As it will may take months for the other companies to make up their mind and you will have to live in your water damaged home for a long time. CALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY ASAP, PLEASE.
