18 New Content Insurance Requirements –One policy per address –Has to be written through GIA Insurance 18

19 Insurance Owners Responsibility Flood &Wind is vague about who covers what. To Assure replacement, each owner should consider Build Out or Alterations and Improvements coverage in addition to contents coverage. Coverage for items not normally moved upon selling: –Instant Hot Water appliances- Wine Coolers –Extensive Tile Coverings- Fireplaces –Built-in Bookshelves/Cabinets –Tub/Shower Fixtures of Higher than Normal Pricing –Intercom or Sound System and Security Systems GIA Insurance Representatives consider such items to be Alterations and Improvements or Build Out Items for definition of coverage. 19

20 Insurance Owner Responsibility Additional Structural Features Typically NOT Covered –Ground Floor unit and content Hot water heater, refrigerators, electronics, … –Privacy Fencing –Outside Shower, Sink, and Cabinets –Outside Special Lighting and Ceiling Fans –Built-in Benches –Porch Swings –Plants and Shrubbery 20

21 Owner Responsibility When the Townhouse is a primary residence, supplemental insurance should be specified to pay for temporary living quarters while the unit is under restoration. If Townhouse is a rental unit, a Loss of Income rider may be requested. (Difficult to obtain). Golf Carts are rarely covered under a Home Owner Contents policy. Discuss the options regarding insurance on golf carts with your insurance agent. Insurance 21

22 Insurance Record Keeping For improved coverage and recovery of loss, the homeowner should maintain a written inventory of contents and attributes. An online Home Inventory worksheet can be found on the Insurance Information Institute (III) website; www.III.org –The Home Inventory Worksheet provides for descriptions, serial numbers, costs and photos of items and features covered by the supplemental policy. –A copy of the inventory details should be stored offsite in a secure place. Dealing with the insurance company is easier and faster when you have detailed information on covered items. 22
