Condominium Insurance
If you own a condominium, your Condominium Corporation or Strata Corporation should already carry insurance. However, you still need to have your own coverage. The strata corporation’s policy only covers the building and common areas so you need your own insurance to protect any upgrades you have made inside your unit and your personal property. Most condominium insurance is purchased as a package that provides coverage’s such as:
Your personal property, including furniture, improvements you have made, and other belongings
Your legal liability for property damage or bodily injury that you, or a family member living with you, might cause to someone else
Additional living expenses if your unit becomes uninhabitable because of an insured loss
Risks incurred if the condominium corporation’s insurance is inadequate
Also includes:
