All about Condo Insurance

A condominium or a condo is a large property or a housing place consisting of many individual units such as apartments where the units are individually owned and the common areas are shared as per the ownership. When looking for an insurance policy for condominiums, it is important to remember that the whole condominium cannot be insured instead individual units are insured because there are many owners of different units. The common areas are insured such that the responsibility of the insurance is shared by all the condo owners.

Condo insurance is just like a home insurance policy in which you insure each part separately and funds are collected from all the residents of the condominium and these funds are used to insure the shared areas of the condominium. The condo insurance policy consists of two parts: master policy and association rules. The individual units insured by each owner separately comes under the master policy and the collective insurance of the shared areas comes under the association rules. One of the very important things in getting your condo insured is to decide what all to include in the insurance policy and also the coverage you would like to have for it. Generally it’s better to look for the market value of the entity and to cover it you can use the half of the market value which provides money to repair the damages caused in case of any accident. The other damages occurred are to be paid by the owner himself as they come under his personal expense.
