What Does Condo Insurance Cover?

• Permanent Upgrades
  One area of condo insurance homeowners often overlook is any permanent upgrades made to your unit. This becomes a particular concern when a used condo is purchased. It is important to not only insure your contents, but also the permanent upgrades made by previous owners, as the Strata corporations' policy will not cover the upgrades.
• Loss Assessment
  Often Strata owners are faced with an assessment if the Strata policy is insufficient to cover the loss. In this situation, if you have "loss assessment" coverage under your condo policy it will pay for the unit owners' share of the assessment to a specific policy limit.
• Liability
  Condo policies contain a limit for personal liability. The limit can range from one million to five million. Personal liability coverage is available to protect you in the event of litigation.
• Earthquake
  Most homeowners' policies do not automatically cover earthquake damage, so it is important to know that it can be added at an additional premium. One of our customer service representatives can help to explain earthquake insurance in more detail.
• Sewer Back-Up Claims
  The backing up or escape of water from your sewer, sump, or septic tank is not insured under most home policies. For a very small additional premium you can purchase the "Sewer Back Up" extension to cover this policy exclusion. This extension does have conditions; we recommend you speak with our home insurance professionals for further details.
