What Does Condominium Insurance Cover?

While each insurer offers unique coverage options, most include the following in standard policies:

Personal Property

This aspect of the policy reimburses for the repair/replacement of personal belongings should they be damaged/destroyed/stolen due to an event defined by the policy. This typically covers electronics, furniture, appliances, and more.

Interior Structural

Condo insurance will cover the unit’s improvements within the condo’s defined boundaries. An upgraded kitchen or new flooring would be covered should an incident occur. However, the structural elements of the unit – related to the building, will likely be covered by the association’s master insurance policy.

Liability

Condo insurance provides financial protection should the insured be legally responsible for injuring another or damaging someone else’s property within the unit. Liability insurance offers coverage for medical expenses and legal fees for subsequent lawsuits.

Loss of Use

If the unit becomes uninhabitable – as a result of a covered event/loss, this part of the insurance coverage will help reimburse for the cost of living while the insured condo unit is being repaired.

Medical Payments to Others

Should a visitor or work person become injured on the property, this portion of the policy can help cover medical expenses.
