Condo insurance can help protect a unit owner’s belongings, interior improvements, and personal liability. The condominium association’s master policy may cover shared property, but its protection may not extend to everything inside your unit. This CovaInsurePro guide highlights key areas to review.
Unit and Interior Coverage
Depending on the association documents and policy, coverage may apply to interior fixtures, flooring, cabinets, appliances, and improvements. Confirm where the association’s responsibility ends and yours begins.
Personal Belongings
Personal property coverage may help with eligible damage or loss involving furniture, clothing, electronics, and other belongings. Valuable items may have special limits.
Loss Assessment
Loss-assessment coverage may help with certain assessments charged to unit owners after a covered event affecting shared property. Review the limit and qualifying conditions.
Liability Protection
Personal liability coverage may help with certain claims involving accidental injury or property damage for which you are legally responsible. Medical payments coverage may apply to eligible minor injuries.
Additional Living Expenses
If a covered loss makes the unit temporarily unlivable, additional living expense coverage may help with eligible extra costs, subject to policy limits and documentation.
Review Your Protection
- Read the association bylaws and master policy summary.
- Estimate replacement costs for belongings and improvements.
- Ask about water damage, deductibles, and exclusions.
- Document valuables with photos and receipts.
- Update coverage after renovations or major purchases.
