Condominium Insurance

Condos come with unique risks and vulnerabilities, and adequate insurance coverage can help protect owners from potential financial losses. Condo insurance typically covers personal belongings, liability protection and structural elements within the unit. With the unpredictable nature of accidents and unforeseen events, condo insurance offers peace of mind by providing financial protection against the unexpected, ensuring that owners can confidently enjoy their investment without worrying about the potential financial burdens that may arise. 

What Is Condo Insurance? 
Condo insurance is a type of insurance policy designed for condominium owners. Like homeowners insurance, it may cover personal belongings, liability protection and specific structural elements within the unit. Condo insurance is distinct from the master insurance policy the building owner has, which covers the common areas and shared aspects of the condominium complex. While the master policy generally protects the building structure and common areas, condo insurance focuses on safeguarding your unit and personal property, as well as providing liability coverage for accidents that may occur within the condo.  

What Does Condo Insurance Cover? 
Condo insurance typically offers the following coverage: 

• Personal property coverage—This coverage may help protect your belongings, such as furniture, electronics, appliances, clothing and other possessions, from covered perils including fire, theft or vandalism. If your belongings are damaged, destroyed or stolen, the insurance policy may help reimburse you for their value up to the policy limits.
• Personal liability coverage—This coverage may protect you if someone is injured or their property is damaged while visiting your unit. If a guest slips and falls or if you accidentally cause damage to a neighbor’s property, personal liability coverage may help cover the other party’s associated medical expenses, legal fees and potential settlement costs.
• Additional living expenses coverage—If your condominium becomes temporarily uninhabitable due to a covered event, this coverage may help pay for additional living expenses. This might include temporary accommodation, meals and other necessary expenses while your unit is being repaired or rebuilt.
