Thus, your camera is insured while you are on vacation, and you are covered if your grandfather clock crashes into the apartment lobby’s wall and leaves a gaping hole. In fact, most policies are surprisingly extensive and may include additional living expenses (also called loss-of-use coverage) if you are forced by fire or other damage to live elsewhere.
- Home InsuranceIf you think insurance for your condominium is covered by your association fees, think again. Typically, your monthly condo fees are used to fund a building insurance policy. To protect your belongings and yourself, you need to purchase a personal home insurance policy (type HO-6), which is designed for condos and co-op apartments.
- Condo InsuranceJust because the HOA insurance policy is baked into your existing condo fees does not mean that, as a condo owner, you don’t need additional coverage. HOA insurance won’t cover property damage or personal injury to anyone inside your condo unit, so condo insurance will be necessary to make sure you’re completely covered.

Rather, you are still alive, but not earning any income. You still need to eat, wear clothing, and your medical expenses may be significantly higher. In either situation, income has stopped. If the wage earner has died, expenses have also gone down for the family, where if the wage earner is disabled, expenses have likely gone up.
