These policies provides coverage on a comprehensive or named peril basis, including coverage for:

  • Fire
  • Explosion
  • Lightning
  • Windstorm*
  • Hail damage*

Coverage for Condos Rented to Others
Renting out your condominium presents a special exposure in which you must make sure that your policy is offering the standard condo insurance coverage for your property along with protecting your exposure as a landlord.

Coverage for Vacation Rental Properties
Vacation Rental is defined as a dwelling which is non-owner-occupied and rented to others for temporary habitational or vacation purposes, not to exceed five consecutive months by one tenant.

Coverage for Vacant Property
If you purchase a home to renovate and rent out, or if you’re between tenants and the home is temporarily vacant, we have coverage for vacant properties . Our carriers offer up to two years of coverage for vacant properties, and your policy can be cancelled at any time with a pro-rated premium return (subject to minimum earned premium).
