Condo Insurance

The number one question asked by prospective condo renters and owners is - What does a condo insurance policy typically cover? Condo owners purchase condominium insurance to protect their personal property and their unit. According to insurance experts, typical condo insurance policies cover certain damages to the condo itself.

Insurance policies can also cover belongings that are lost, stolen, or damaged. Some policies even cover damage caused by natural disasters. Talk to a licensed insurance agent about covering the things in your life that matter the most to you. An agent can help you create a customized condo insurance policy that covers your treasured belongings.

New condo owners just starting out aren't sure how much insurance they should have on their condo insurance policy. The amount of condo insurance you need varies from family to family and depends on several personal factors.

Most mortgage lenders require condominium owners to have condo insurance coverage that is at least 20% of the value of the unit. Start your condo insurance estimate with a minimum of 20%. Talk to a licensed insurance agent to find the best policy to meet your needs.
