Key information regarding unit owner’s insurance needs:
- You need a condominium owner’s policy, also known as an HO-6, to pick up coverage for your personal property, furniture, additional living expenses (in the event your unit is uninhabitable due to a covered claim), and personal liability.
- The association insurance policy carries a deductible. In the event of a claim, the association may seek to recover the deductible from unit owners involved in the claim. Your obligation to pay the deductible may be offset by your HO-6 policy, subject to your own deductible, if you add building coverage. Ask your personal insurance agent.
Claims
If you have a claim, notify your association’s management company or designated board member and your own homeowners insurance carrier. Claims that involve your personal property and furniture must be submitted to your homeowners insurance carrier.
Claim payments under this policy are made to your board of directors as insurance trustee.
