Habitational Insurance – Apartment & HOA

What is Habitational Insurance?

Habitational Insurance is a comprehensive policy that is specifically designed for commercial residential properties, such as apartments, HOAs, and multi-residential dwellings. Unlike standard property policies, Habitational Insurance policies combine the elements of homeowners, business, and other insurances to cover the unique risks that commercial residential property owners face. The policy typically includes Property Insurance and General Liability Insurance.

Longmont Habitational Insurance Q&A:

Do Condo Associations need to carry Directors and Officers Liability Insurance?

Absolutely! Board members of HOAs take on a variety of responsibilities, increasing exposure and the potential of personal risks. Implementing a Directors and Officers Liability policy will provide additional protection and safeguard board members from such risks.

Hail is a big concern for insurance companies in Colorado. Are there any other exposures that concern insurance companies?

Gas and charcoal grills are a common fixture on the balconies and decks of multi-residential properties and are deemed an exposure by insurance companies. Because of the risks associated with grills, many insurance companies will refuse to insure commercial residential properties who allow them on balconies or decks.

Is there a way to offset high wind/hail deductibles?

The majority of insurance companies issuing habitational insurance policies include separate deductibles for wind/hail damage, in excess of up to 10%. Many companies in Colorado are now offering Wind/Hail Buy Back policies that will basically cover the large deductible of the primary policy.
