Condo Insurance Is Required by Mortgage Lenders<\/h2>\n

If you’re getting a mortgage to pay for your condo, you may be required to get condo insurance. Typical mortgage lenders require condo insurance until the condo is paid off. To find out whether your mortgage lender requires condo insurance, contact them. If it is a requirement, you’ll need to maintain a condo insurance policy for as long as you have a mortgage.<\/p>\n

If you fail to renew your condo insurance policy, your mortgage lender may force you to pay for a policy that has been selected for you. This policy may cost more while providing less coverage. <\/p>\n

Condo Insurance Covers The Parts You’re Responsible For<\/h2>\n

You’re not responsible for your condo’s structural components. You own the parts of the condo you touch regularly: the floors, walls, and finishes. These are the parts your condo insurance provides coverage for. Other parts of the condo may be covered by the HOA master policy. <\/p>\n

The HOA Master Policy Doesn’t Cover What You Own <\/h2>\n

Your HOA may have a master policy that provides coverage for the grounds where your condo is located as well as structural components that your condo policy doesn’t cover. You can’t rely on this policy to cover your personal belongings and property. That’s why you need condo insurance.
