Understanding Condo Owners Insurance

It easy to confuse condo insurance with home insurance. But they are two distinct insurance categories and need to be viewed as such. If you own a condo, here are a few important issues you should keep in mind when choosing your insurance provider and the terms of the insurance coverage. A good condo owner’s insurance policy should cover:

• Personal Property – This will cover loss of normal household items in case of fire, theft or other covered contingencies.
• Additional Personal Property – If you own antiques, valuable art works, large amounts of jewelry and other such items, you need this protection.
• Improvements – This will cover improvements you have made to the condo and additional fixture you have installed
• Additional Living Expenses – This will cover your living costs should your condo become uninhabitable due to any factor you are insured against.
• Guest Medical Coverage – This will cover the medical expenses of guests injured while in the condo
• Worker’s Comp Coverage – This will pay for the medical expenses of any personal employees such as nannies, cooks maids etc.
• Personal Liability Protection – This coverage will pay for liability due to damage or injury resulting from a covered incident.
• Loss Assessment – This often overlooked coverage covers you, should the condo association levy an assessment on each condo owner for the repair of common areas.
