HomeGUARD - The Provant Group

Overview

Condominium insurance, or HO-6 coverage, is a necessity for every condo owner to purchase before moving into a building with a HOA. While it covers damage to one’s own unit and liability due to one’s negligence, 45% of home insurance claims arise from non-negligent events resulting from water heaters, washing machines, plumbing and appliances. In condominium buildings, events such as these have a high probability of affecting more than one unit and all affected owners must turn to their own insurance for coverage.

“Why my policy? It’s not my fault.”

Not widely known is that many association’s by-laws is the waiver of subrogation clause, which states that after an insurance claim, a unit owner cannot subrogate against another unit owner or the association, even if the event that caused the damage stemmed from another unit or the building’s pipes. Whether or not an association allows subrogation, boards are inundated with unit owner disputes over restitution for their deductible. The solution is HomeGUARD.
