Condominium Insurance
While the Condominium Corporation most likely insures the building, your contents, building improvements, and living expenses need to be insured.
Condominium Insurance provides protection for the following:
-
Personal Property - Your personal belongings within the home such as furniture, appliances, electronics and clothes.
-
Upgrades or improvements made to the condominium unit such as cabinets, lighting, flooring, countertops or appliances.
-
Your living expenses in case you cannot live in your home while it is being rebuilt or repaired.
-
Liability insurance for if someone gets injured on your property and you may be liable, or if you accidentally cause damage to other people's property.
-
Loss Assessments - If the condominium corporation's policy does not cover the total damage to common areas, this would cover your share of the cost. It can also respond if there is a lawsuit against the condominium corporation and there are insufficient funds in the condominium corporations account.
-
If you have a "Bare Land" Condominium, a condominium insurance policy would insure the building itself.
