Home Frequently Asked Questions Condo Insurance FAQs

How does Condo Insurance differ from Homeowners Insurance?

Condo insurance mainly covers the interior of your unit and personal belongings. In contrast, homeowners insurance covers the entire home structure and the land. Condo insurance typically complements the condo association’s policy, which covers exteriors and common areas.

A condo association’s policy generally covers the building exterior, common areas, and shared amenities. However, it doesn’t cover individual unit interiors, personal belongings, or personal liability. Condo insurance is essential for these areas.

Your premiums depend on factors like the value of personal belongings, upgrades in your unit, building security, location (e.g., flood-prone areas), and your chosen coverage limits and deductibles.

Keep your inventory list updated, consider extra coverage for high-value items, regularly review and adjust your policy limits, install preventive measures like security systems, and regularly compare policies to ensure optimal coverage.

The cost varies based on the value of your interior belongings, the details of your condo association’s policy, your location, and the coverage options you choose. Getting a personalized quote is the best way to determine the cost.

Typically, it covers the building’s exterior, common areas, and shared amenities like pools or gyms. It doesn’t cover the inside of your condo or your personal belongings.

Your coverage should match the value of all personal belongings, interior improvements, and any potential liability claims. It’s important to assess the value of your items and your personal risk to determine the right amount.

It covers personal property within your unit, interior damage, personal liability, and sometimes additional living expenses if your condo becomes uninhabitable due to a covered peril.

Condo insurance typically covers water damage due to issues like burst pipes within your unit. However, it may not cover flood damage, which usually requires separate flood insurance.
