H06 insurance, also known as condo insurance, is a type of homeowners insurance policy specifically designed for condominium unit owners.
Condo/Coop/Condotel Unit Insurance [ inside walls coverage and also called HO-6 ]
Here’s what HO-6 insurance typically covers:
Interior of the Condo Unit
Walls, floors, ceilings, and built-in fixtures that are not covered by the condo association’s master policy. Coverage for improvements or upgrades you’ve made inside your unit.
Personal Property
Protection for your furniture, electronics, clothing, and other personal belongings in case of theft, fire, or other covered events.
Liability Protection
Covers legal and medical expenses if someone is injured inside your condo and you’re found liable.
Loss Assessment
Helps pay your share of costs if the condo association levies a special assessment for shared property damage or liability claims.
Loss of Use
Pays for temporary living expenses if your condo becomes uninhabitable due to a covered peril.
Why It’s Important:
While your condo association’s master policy may cover the building’s exterior and common areas, it typically doesn’t protect the interior of your unit or your personal belongings. That’s where an HO-6 policy comes in.
