The need for home insurance<\/h3>

Some people wonder why home insurance is needed. Here are a few reasons behind this:<\/p>

  1. It offers financial assistance in case of:<\/li><\/ol>
    • Theft<\/li>
    • Loss\/damage to the inside or outside of your home<\/li><\/ul>
      1. It covers additional living expenses in case you can\u2019t live in your home temporarily.<\/li>
      2. It may cover the cost of personal property that\u2019s been stolen from your vehicle.<\/li><\/ol>

        Condo insurance<\/h3>

        Condominium or condo coverage provides covers for:<\/p>

        • Damage or loss inside your unit and storage locker.<\/li>
        • Damage or loss to your belongings.<\/li>
        • Personal liability claims if someone is injured in your home.<\/li>
        • Additional living expenses in case you are unable to live in your condo due to a loss covered by your policy.<\/li><\/ul>

          Tenant\u2019s insurance<\/h3>

          Also called renter\u2019s insurance, this pays for:<\/p>

          • Any injury to visitors.<\/li>
          • Additional living expenses in case you are unable to live in your apartment due to a loss covered by your policy.<\/li>
          • Any loss\/damage to your belongings if you rent or lease your apartment from someone else.<\/li><\/ul>

            Home insurance policy coverage<\/h3>

            In most cases, this policy provides cover for you and your family. You should get the exact details on this aspect from your insurer.<\/p>

            Also, get complete clarity on the type of settlement you can expect if you make a claim.<\/p>

            Home insurance coverage \u2013 Types<\/h3>

            For your home, you may need a combination of two types of coverage.<\/p>

            1. Personal property coverage<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>

              This protects you in case of loss or damage to your home\/personal possessions and your car.<\/p>

              1. Liability coverage<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>

                This protects you against any legal liability for losses caused due to injury to other people or damage to others\u2019 property.<\/p>

                Home insurance policies \u2013 Types<\/h3>

                An extensive range of home insurance policies is offered by insurance companies, all with different levels of coverage against risks and damages.<\/p>

                1. Comprehensive<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>

                  Also called a special or all-perils policy, this one provides the maximum coverage, including all risks to your home and its contents.<\/p>

                  1. Standard<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>

                    Also called a basic or perils policy, this one provides cover for the risks to your home and all the contents named in your policy.<\/p>

                    1. Broad<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>

                      Also called a broad-form policy, this one is a kind of go-between the comprehensive and standard policies.<\/p>

                      1. No-frills<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>

                        This one offers the least possible coverage, mostly for homes that don\u2019t meet the usual insurance standards.<\/p>

                        Other points to consider<\/h3>
                        1. Read the policy for events that are covered or not by your home insurance policy.<\/li>
                        2. In most cases, home insurance does cover unexpected events or accidents such as fire, windstorm, or theft \u2013 which are known as perils by insurance companies. Check your policy for these.<\/li>
                        3. Predictable and maintenance-related events of your home aren\u2019t covered usually in home insurance policies. Check for this clause.<\/li>
                        4. Premiums vary across insurance companies. Remember to spend some time on research related to quotes and premiums. Don\u2019t just blindly opt for a policy.<\/li><\/ol>

                          Settlement options<\/h3>

                          When you make a claim, the insurance company will review it and then decide how to settle it. There are two ways of doing this:<\/p>

                          1. Actual cash value<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>

                            In this, you receive the cost of the item when it is new. However, depreciation is deducted from this amount.<\/p>

                            1. Replacement value<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>

                              In this, you receive the actual cost to replace a destroyed or damaged item.<\/p>

                              Settling a claim with the mortgage<\/h3>

                              If you have a mortgage, in almost all cases, your home insurance policy will include a loss payee clause.<\/p>

                              This clause names your lender as the beneficiary.<\/p>

                              In case you make a claim, the insurance company may give the amount to you or your lender. This decision is completely up to the company.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
