Personal Insurance

Condo Insurance

The gap between where the association master policy stops and your front door begins.

What this cover does

A condo policy sits inside a master policy, and the line between the two is written in your association documents. Read which type of master policy your building carries before you buy — bare-walls and all-in master policies need very different amounts of personal cover.

Typically included

  • Interior walls, floors, fixtures and built-in cabinetry, depending on master type
  • Personal property and contents
  • Personal liability and guest medical payments
  • Loss of use while the unit is uninhabitable
  • Loss assessment when the association bills owners for a shortfall

Common add-ons

  • Higher loss-assessment limits where the association carries a large deductible
  • Building-property cover for upgrades you installed
  • Water backup
  • Scheduled valuables

Questions

What people ask about condo

What is loss assessment?

When damage exceeds the association’s cover, the association can bill every owner for a share. Loss assessment cover pays your share up to the limit. It is the single most overlooked part of a condo policy.

Bare-walls versus all-in?

A bare-walls master policy covers the structure only, leaving everything from the drywall inwards to you. An all-in master policy includes original fixtures. Your declaration page says which, and it changes how much cover you need.
