What Does a Standard Condo Insurance Policy Cover?

Owning a condo comes with responsibilities, and making sure you have the right insurance is one of them. At GD Tax & Insurance, our team helps clients understand what a standard condo insurance policy covers so they can make informed decisions about their coverage.

Key Coverages in a Standard Condo Insurance Policy

A standard condo insurance policy is built to fill the gaps between what your condo association’s master policy covers and what you’re responsible for as a unit owner. Here are the main coverages you can expect:

Personal Property Coverage

May help cover the cost to repair or replace your belongings (such as furniture, electronics and clothing) if they’re damaged or stolen due to covered events such as fire, theft or certain types of water damage.

Interior Structure Coverage

While your condo association’s master policy typically covers the building’s exterior and common areas, you’re usually responsible for the interior of your unit. Condo insurance may help pay for repairs to walls, floors, cabinets and fixtures if they’re damaged by a covered peril.

Liability Coverage

May help with legal expenses and potential settlements if someone is injured at your condo or elsewhere, or if you accidentally cause damage to another person’s property.

Loss of Use Coverage

If your condo becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss, your policy may help pay for temporary living expenses, such as hotel stays or meals, while repairs are made.

Loss Assessment Coverage

If your condo association assesses unit owners for damages to shared areas that exceed the master policy’s limits, loss assessment coverage may help pay your share of these unexpected costs.
