What is condo insurance?

Wawanesa’s condo insurance covers loss or damage to the interior of your unit, typically what you own and not covered by your association’s master policy. For example, the cabinets, floors, countertops, and any improvements you’ve made to the inside of your place. A condo insurance policy also covers the personal belongings inside the unit and offers personal liability protection and medical payments to others if accidently injured on your property.

A basic Wawanesa condo insurance policy includes:

Dwelling Coverage

Covers items within your unit that are owned by you, for example, the floors, cabinets, kitchen and bathroom countertops, and any improvements you’ve made inside the condo unit.

Personal Property Coverage

Covers your personal belongings, including electronics, major appliances, furniture, and clothing. This coverage also pays to replace stolen items, such as jewelry, watches, furs, goldware, silverware, firearms, and more.

Loss of Use Coverage

Covers additional living expenses if you have to temporarily move out of your home because it’s uninhabitable due to a covered loss such as a fire.

Personal Liability Coverage

Helps pay and provides a legal defense for things like property damage, bodily injury, or medical bills if you’re found liable.

Medical Payments to Others Coverage

Provides coverage for minor medical claims if a guest is injured in your home.

Other Basic Coverages Included in Your Condo Insurance Policy

Pays reasonable costs incurred by you to prevent further damage such as removal of debris and fire department service charges acquired while protecting the property.

Optional Coverages

Additional coverages are available that allow you to customize your condo insurance coverage to fit your unique needs. You can increase coverage limits for loss assessment, personal property, scheduled property, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions About Condo Insurance Coverage

How much condo insurance do I need?

The amount of condo insurance you’ll need depends on a variety of factors, including the dwelling, the amount of personal property you own, and the liability limits you’re comfortable with:

  • Dwelling: This covers the items not covered by the association’s master policy. Consider how much coverage is needed to cover any improvements you’ve made inside the unit (e.g., flooring, cabinets, and countertops, etc.)
  • Personal Property: To figure out how much of this coverage you’ll need, do a complete inventory to establish the value of all your possessions. You can also buy additional coverage for expensive and valuable items if need be.
  • Liability: Consider a limit that will protect your assets in case you ever need to cover damages caused to others’ property or bodily injury claims.
What does a typical condo policy cover?

A typical condo insurance policy covers the dwelling or unit (usually the inside and items not covered by your association’s master policy), your personal property, loss of use, your personal liability, and medical payments to others.

What’s the difference between condo insurance and homeowners insurance?
Condo insurance covers only the items owned by you inside the condo unit. This includes the floors, walls, cabinets, any improvements you’ve made to the unit, and your personal belongings, like clothing, appliances, and furniture. Whereas a homeowners policy covers both the inside and outside of the home, including additional structures such as garages, basements, and sheds.
Does condo insurance vary from state to state?

Yes, condo insurance rates and coverages vary by state due to differences in regulations and claims costs in each state. Refer to your condo association’s master policy to help determine what is not covered and do an inventory of your personal belongings to see how much coverage you’ll need to purchase to cover the items you own.
