The master condo policy typically protects only the shell of your unit, leaving your personal property and the unit interior at risk. We’ll make sure you understand your bylaws and have the protection you need.
Your condo association’s insurance policy likely covers certain aspects of your condo, such as common or shared areas. As a result, it may cover your condo unit, but not any improvements you make or fixtures you add to the condo. It also won’t cover your personal possessions. Condo insurance is designed to make up for this shortfall. It’s a mixture of the better-known landlord insurance and renters insurance but is specially designed for your particular condo.
Condo insurance covers your personal belongings inside your condo unit. That means everything from your appliances to your clothes will be covered in the event of a loss. Without it, you would have to replace your lost or damaged possessions out-of-pocket. Condo insurance also covers damage caused by theft, fire, severe wind, lightning strikes, and frozen pipes. It’s important to note, however, that condo insurance does not usually cover flooding.
In addition to property coverage, condo policies may also include liability coverage. For example, if a guest is injured in your condo, it will pay for their medical expenses. It can also cover you in the case of a lawsuit if you are responsible for damages to another condo property. Living expenses may also be covered if there is damage to your condo unit that renders it unlivable.
It can be confusing to figure out exactly what coverage you need for your condo unit, so we will work with you to find the condo insurance policy that’s right for you. On top of that, we can show you just how inexpensive condo insurance is in comparison to the potential costs of replacing your personal belongings out-of-pocket.
