If you cannot occupy your unit based on a disaster, you are still required to pay your assessments. Carrying insurance to cover this event is a choice.

What is loss assessment on a homeowners policy?

If a condo association has a loss and the association's insurance is inadequate to cover the loss, the association is permitted to assess each unit owner for the amount they are lacking. However, since there is no negligence on the unit owners part this is generally not covered by the owner's own liability portion of his policy. The unit owner must purchase additional loss assessment coverage to protect against this additional loss assessment scenario.

Miami beach fl who is liable if rental condo floods?

A condominium owner is protected -- potentially -- on two levels. First, by the association's master insurance policy, and second, the owner's HO-6 policy covering contents and the unit's interior. The caveat, however, is this: not all associations carry flood insurance, in which case, the association will develop the cost of repairs and announce a special assessment, so that all owners pay for the repairs according to their share of ownership. An owner without insurance in this case is responsible for the repair and replacement of the interior contents, fixtures and furnishings not covered by the special assessment.

How to Determine What Type Of Condo Insurance to Buy?

Condo insurance is not the same as insurance on conventional homes or renters. Condo owners need to ensure that their policies cover all their possessions that are not covered by the Condo Association’s insurance policy. By reading the fine print in the purchase agreement and the insurance policy, a condo owner can determine exactly what type of insurance policy will cover what is not covered by the collective insurance already provided. The condo association will normally collect dues from owners to cover common areas of the complex and sometime installations. The association’s bylaws will state exactly what is covered under the association’s policy. The association’s policy may have a deductible, which is usually divided equally among the unit owners. Collectively, owners may have a “bare walls” policy which covers all real property from the exterior framing inward, but does not cover fixtures or installations within a condo unit. Another type of policy referred to as an “all in” policy covers fixtures and installations, along with the structure and any common areas. The owner needs to know if the policy is cash value, which covers the cost of replacing the items minus depreciation, or if it covers the full replacement cost. If the association has a bare wall policy, the owner must buy insurance to cover features such as countertops, bathroom and kitchen fixtures, flooring and personal items. With an all in policy, the owner may only need to cover personal items. Most insurance companies offer a special unit owners policy, but to save money and ensure that all items are covered, the condo owner needs to determine what he owns and what is covered by the association’s policy. Condo owners are typically responsible for insuring just their property, but the rules differ from complex to complex, and it's important to ask the right questions to ensure you have proper insurance coverage. Usually, condo owners are not responsible for cutting the grass or shoveling ice from the front walk, but they must insure that the proper condo insurance is in place to protect them from any lawsuits related to these things.


Is leaking pipes inside the wall covered in condo insurance?

Typically, the coverage for leaking pipes inside a condo's walls can be a bit complicated due to the unique nature of condo ownership. Insurance coverage in condos is generally split into two parts: condo association insurance (also known as "master policy") and individual condo owner's insurance (HO-6 policy). The condo association's policy often covers parts of the building structure, which could include pipes inside the walls. However, it can also depend on the specifics of your condo association's master policy and whether they have an "All In" or a "Bare Walls-In" coverage. An individual condo owner's insurance might cover the damage to personal property and any improvements made to the unit, like upgraded kitchen appliances. Essentially, whether or not a leaky pipe inside the wall is covered depends on where the pipe is located (common area vs. within your individual unit), who is responsible for its maintenance (as outlined in your condo by-laws), and the details of both insurance policies. At Daisy, we've learned that understanding your condo documents and insurance policies is fundamental to knowing what is and isn't covered. It's always advisable to consult with your insurance provider or a lawyer to fully understand your coverage.
