Coverage

Condo insurance (HO-6)

A condo association carries a master policy, and almost nobody reads it. It usually stops somewhere around the unfinished walls, which leaves your flooring, cabinets, fixtures and everything inside them to you. An HO-6 policy covers that gap, your belongings and your liability, and it has to be written against what your particular association actually covers.

What this coverage generally includes

  • Building property (walls-in): flooring, cabinets, fixtures and improvements
  • Personal property, with scheduled items for valuables
  • Personal liability and medical payments to others
  • Loss of use while the unit is uninhabitable
  • Loss assessment, for your share of a master-policy shortfall
  • Water damage originating in your unit

What we will ask you

  • A copy of the association master policy, or its declarations page
  • Whether the master policy is bare walls, single entity or all in
  • The association deductible, which can be assessed back to owners
  • Any upgrades you have made to the unit since you bought it

Worth knowing

  • Loss assessment is the coverage condo owners most often lack. A large claim against the association can be billed back to every owner.
  • If you rent your condo out, even occasionally, that changes the policy. Tell us.
  • Your lender will have a minimum HO-6 requirement. We will read it rather than guess.
