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.

The amount of a policy deductible on a homeowners insurance policy is chosen by the policyholder. Your policy deductible is the amount you are responsible for paying before the insurance company will payout for a claim. If you experience a loss to your dwelling or your personal property, your homeowners insurance policy deductible applies. The deductible does not apply to other coverages on the policy.

If you don't carry homeowners insurance and you have your home financed, you are breaking the contract and your bank will take out a forced place policy to cover their interest in the home and you will have to pay the premium which is far more than a homeowners policy.
