Best practices dictate that you work with the broker who write the master policy, to determine whether or not the master policy is an 'all-in' policy. An all-in policy includes coverage for windows, doors, interior furniture, including cabinets, bathroom fixtures and so forth.

You can imagine turning your unit upside down. Everything that falls out is your responsibility to insure, if the master policy is an all-in policy. An all-in policy also covers upgrades if they have been documented with the association.

If not, your broker can help you define what you need to insure in your unit.

As well, your HO-6 policy can cover paying your assessments should your unit become uninhabitable, cover your living expenses as well, and other benefits offered to condominium unit owners.

Actually you can't just add it. For rented property you need Dwelling coverage. Your homeowners insurance policy becomes automatically null and void when the property is rented out to another. You can have your agent endorse your policy for rental dwelling coverage or you can have your agent re-write the policy on the appropriate dwelling coverage form. Homeowners insurance is for owner occupied homes. Dwelling insurance is the landlords insurance for rented properties
