Your Condo Lets You Avoid Many Homeownership Hassles – But You Still Need Insurance

A lot of condo unitowners assume that their association takes care of insurance, in addition to maintenance. But that’s not entirely true, especially when it comes to your belongings and other items within your unit.

What Does Your Condo Association Cover?

Condominium associations are usually responsible for insurance and upkeep when it comes to building exteriors and the communal amenities. Your association probably insures the interior of the building as well, up to and including the walls of your unit.

But what about things inside or attached to those walls? Well, it’s your responsibly to protect those:

• Your association probably has “bare walls” coverage, which leaves unitowners like you responsible for all property and fixtures in the individual unit.
• “As built” coverage makes it the owner’s responsibility to insure any upgrades or additions made to the original dwelling.

We Can Review – and Explain – Your Current Coverage

Our team can review your association’s policy and explain, in plain English, what you’re covered for and where you might have gaps.

We can even provide an annual review to confirm that your association has not changed or reduced in coverage, which saves you from additional risk.

Our condo unitowners policies can help ensure you have all the coverage you need, on top of what your association already provides.
