What does condo insurance cover in Richmond?

Condo insurance helps cover personal belongings, liability risks and interior portions of your unit not covered by the HOA for covered perils such as fire, theft, smoke damage and certain water damage claims. Coverage depends on policy terms and what your condo association's master policy includes.

Most HO-6 insurance policies include:

• Personal property coverage
• Personal liability coverage
• Loss of use coverage
• Guest medical coverage
• Interior structure protection

Your condo association insures common areas and shared structures, and may cover some portion of the interior of your unit, while unit owners remain responsible for interior spaces not covered by the HOA policy and personal belongings.

Check your HOA master policy to determine how much coverage you need.
