Condo Insurance
Owners of condominiums face a unique insurance situation
that is specifically addressed by the Condo Insurance policy.
Although you own the condo itself, the condo building is
normally owned by the association and is insured
separately. Many people think that the association insures
the entire building so they only have to insure their contents
and in most cases that is simply not the case.
Most condo owners are legally responsible for insuring
everything in their unit “from the drywall in”. That means wall
coverings, carpet, interior partitions, plumbing fixtures,
kitchen cabinets and even the individual heat and air
condtioning units. This is all in addition to your personal
belongings.
The association’s policy covers the building itself and the
common areas, but replaces an individual unit only to the
“four bare walls”. While this is the most common
arrangement, it is important to know that the Bylaws and
Articles of Condominium are the documents that determine
what each party is responsible for. If you are not sure, it is
important to get these documents and find out what you are
responsible for.
In the event of a fire, if all you are carrying is Contents
insurance you may find yourself woefully underinsured. The
first thing is to check the documents mentioned above, the
second thing is to select one of the options at the right to get
