For most people a Condominium represents a significant investment, but more than that, they are homes. When it comes to home, everyone wants stability and safety. By covering common risks such as fire, theft, and other hazards, insurance provides peace of mind for condo owners.

Condo insurance is something that every condo owner should consider. The exterior of the building is normally covered by the condo association's insurance, but the interior of a unit needs coverage as well. No one should consider going without it.

What Is Covered?

Condominium insurance includes coverage for both belongings and liability. Everything from valuables, to appliances, to personal belongings is covered with accompanying exclusions and limitations. Common causes of damage to property include lightning, frozen pipes, and vandalism.

Liability coverage can be a lifesaver. If a guest or worker is injured on the premises, legal fees and medical bills can be a huge problem. Based on circumstances, Condo insurance can cover these risks. Without coverage, people can find themselves bankrupted by the expense of a lawsuit. Common risks faced by homeowners, such as dog bites, are also commonly covered by condo insurance.

For people who own a condo but rent it out to others, there are additional issues to consider before purchasing insurance. Certain coverages are very important for landlords. An example is fair rental value.

Fair rental value coverage insulates owners against financial losses while a unit is repaired, and no rent is being collected. Coverage needs for landlords are best discussed with a qualified agent, as rental situations can vary widely.
