Why do I need Homeowners Insurance?
Homeowners insurance is a package policy. This means that it covers both damage to your property and your liability or legal responsibility for any injuries and property damage you or members of your family cause to other people.
Unlike driving a car, you can legally own a home without homeowners insurance. But, if you have bought your home and financed the purchase with a mortgage, your lender will most likely require you to get homeowners insurance. Another name for this is sometimes referred to Hazard Insurance. Hazard insurance is property insurance that you are required to purchase to cover any damage that may occur to the property itself or to someone while in or on the property. Frequently the lender requires the first year's insurance premium to be paid at close of escrow. This is usually required because lenders need to protect their investment in your home in case your house burns down or is badly damaged by a storm, or other disaster. If you live in an area likely to flood, the bank will also require you to purchase flood insurance. Some financial institutions may also require earthquake coverage if you live in a region vulnerable to earthquakes. Usually the first year that you purchase a home, the insurance will be paid out of. If you buy a condominium, your board will probably require you to buy homeowners or condo contents insurance.
After your mortgage is paid off, no one will require you to buy homeowners insurance. But it doesn't make sense to cancel your policy and risk losing what you’ve invested in your home.
Protect your Home, Protect your belongings, and protect the assets you’ve worked so hard for!
Dwellings and other structures - For most of us, our home is the single, largest investment we will make. Homeowners insurance provides coverage’s for damage to your home and other structures on your property such as a shed or detached garage.
Personal Property - Homeowners insurance also provides coverage for your household contents and personal belongings. You may think your couch, coffee table, sweaters, shoes, coats; TV, VCR and CD player aren't worth a lot but those items all add up.
Personal Liability - In the event someone is injured on your property or you damage property that belongs to others, you could be held legally liable for the injury or damage. A homeowner policy provides liability and personal property insurance to financially protect you should this ever occur.
Is my jewelry covered by my homeowner’s policy?
On a homeowner’s policy, there is limited, standard coverage available for your jewelry and watches. In most cases, you will need to purchase a Personal Articles Floater, which extends protection for your jewelry or other items when its value is higher than the limits stated in your homeowner’s policy. Most company's require a recent appraisal for each item that you want to have on your jewelry floater schedule. Contact John Tesoriero at 619-889-0889 to discuss adding a jewelry floater or increasing your coverage.
Am I covered for earthquake damage?
No. Earthquake coverage is available as an additional coverage to the homeowner’s policy. Earthquake coverage has it's own separate deductible. Generally this there is either a 10% or 15% deductible for Earthquake coverage. You can custom tailor your earthquake coverage to include a certain amount of personal property coverage along with coverage for your house itself. To determine whether you should purchase this insurance, talk to your local insurance agent. In earthquake prone areas, the cost of this insurance is relatively high due to the risk. In other areas, it is relatively inexpensive.
What is a landlord or rental dwelling insurance policy?
A landlord insurance or rental dwelling insurance policy is a policy for a homeowner that rents their home out to tenants. This type of policy can generally be used for properties from 1 to 4 units. For anything larger than 4 units, then you generally need a commercial apartment insurance policy. Landlord insurance or rental dwelling insurance provides protection for the homeowner in the event of a fire, but also provides protection for things such as loss of rents. Loss of rents is a special coverage that provides protection for you when during a covered loss, it pays for the loss of rental income that you would be receiving from your tenants, if damage causes the property to become unfit for habitation. Because landlord insurance covers only the property and the rights of the landlord, tenants can greatly benefit from renters’ insurance. Damages to personal belongings or another person’s property within a tenant’s residence become the responsibility of the tenant. Renters’ insurance will provide liability coverage and, in some cases, it could also cover pertinent legal expenses. Renters’ insurance, similar to that offered to landlords, has a variety of options for coverage. Some of these coverage's include replacement coverage, increased liability limits, special limits on computer and electronics coverage's, etc. For more info on renters insurance, please see California Renters insurance info and help.
When should I think about adding or increasing my homeowner’s insurance coverage?
Generally, you should contact your agent about reviewing your coverage whenever you change something significant about your home or its contents, for example, you should discuss with your insurance agent:
• When you put on an addition to your home
• When you start a business from your home
• When you make a major purchase, such as jewelry, a computer.
• When you purchase other residential properties either for rental or as a second home.
