What is Condo Insurance?

Insurance requirements are different for an owner of a condominium than for owners of single family homes or renters. Condominiums typically have an association which is responsible for insuring the common elements that includes the physical exterior of the building(s), hallways, stairways and elevators. The hazard insurance purchased by the condominium association typically does not insure any of the real property within the condo owner's unit. For example, the interior walls, fixtures, plumbing, electrical items, etc. are not covered by the hazard insurance obtained by the association. Since these items are considered real property, and not personal property, renters insurance would not cover them. Therefore there is a void in coverage.

Condominium (Condo) Insurance has been designed to fill that void. Simply put, condo insurance is a hybrid of traditional home insurance and renters insurance. It is designed to cover those real property items not insured by the associations hazard insurance policy. Condo insurance also covers personal property as well as liability. As to be expected, premiums for condo insurance tend to be less then premiums for traditional house insurance because there is less to insure.

Insurance agents should help you co-ordinate the coverage you will be getting in your condo insurance policy with the coverage specified in the association's hazard insurance policy. it is important to find out what is, and what is not, covered by your association's policy.
