What Is Condo Insurance And How Does It Work? 

Condo insurance, also known as HO-6 insurance, is a type of insurance policy designed specifically for condominium unit owners. It provides coverage for the personal property and liability of the condo owner, as well as protection for the physical structure of the unit itself.

These are the ways condo insurance works and what it typically covers: 

• Personal Property Coverage: Condo insurance typically provides coverage for personal belongings such as furniture, electronics, clothing, and appliances. This coverage helps protect against damage or loss due to covered perils such as fire, theft, vandalism, and certain natural disasters. 
• Building Property Coverage: While the condo association’s master policy usually covers the exterior structure of the building and common areas, condo insurance typically covers the interior structure of the unit. This includes fixtures, built-in appliances, and any improvements made to the unit since its original construction. 
• Liability Coverage: Condo insurance includes liability coverage, which protects the policyholder against lawsuits for bodily injury or property damage that they are found responsible for. This coverage can help pay for medical expenses, legal fees, and damages awarded in a lawsuit. 
• Loss of Use Coverage: If a covered event renders the condo uninhabitable, loss of use coverage can help pay for additional living expenses, such as temporary lodging, meals, and transportation, while the unit is being repaired or rebuilt. 
• Additional Coverages: Condo insurance policies may also offer additional coverages, such as medical payments coverage, which pays for medical expenses incurred by guests who are injured on the insured property, regardless of fault. 
• Deductibles and Limits: Like other types of insurance, condo insurance policies typically have deductibles and coverage limits. The deductible is the amount the policyholder must pay out of pocket before the insurance kicks in, while the coverage limit is the maximum amount the insurance company will pay for a covered claim. 

It’s important for condo owners to carefully review their condo association’s master policy to understand what is covered by the association and what they are responsible for insuring on their own. Additionally, condo insurance policies can be tailored to meet the specific needs of individual unit owners, so it’s advisable to work with an insurance agent to customize a policy that provides adequate protection for your unique situation.
