Home Insurance has been around for well over 100 years, so in the big scheme of things Condo insurance is relatively new.<\/p>\n
Even though Condo insurance has been around for decades, there remains a lot of confusion over how to insure them. Many would say that you simply pick a value based on the amount of contents, but this may not be correct and you could suffer a severe financial loss in the event of a claim.<\/p>\n
Many believe that the Condo owner should insure their contents, and the Condominium Corporation will insure the building \u2013 this may not be the case. Depending on the Standard Unit Definition and the Insurance requirements set out in the Condominium Declarations, you may find that the Condominium Corporation is simply insuring a concrete box and you are responsible for all drywall, fixtures and fittings.<\/p>\n
Condominium policies are similar to Home and Renters Insurance, however they should also include three main coverages special to Condominiums:<\/p>\n
If you are going to purchase a Condominium, be sure to speak with your lawyer for clarification on what the Declarations indicate that you should be insuring. Then be sure to speak with an Insurance Broker for independent advice on the different condominium insurance policies and which one is the right fit for you. If your insurance provider suggests you purchase insurance without referring to the Condominium Declarations, I would suggest you consider another insurance provider.<\/p>\n
