Insurance Coverages You Should Consider

1. Insuring to Value
   Oftentimes, building insurance value is much lower than its true replacement value. In the case of a large claim, you will suffer the co-insurance penalties.
2. Rental Income
   Can be obtained for any duration up to actual loss sustained for 12 months. We recommend the 12 months.
3. Boiler/Machinery Coverage
   Usually, it is not part of the package policy, but we highly recommend it.
4. Umbrella Coverage
   Excess Liability — additional liability limits can be purchased in the form of an umbrella. We offer this at a discount to SPOA members.
5. Hired/Non-Owned Auto Liability
   Coverage for Hired/Non-Owned auto liability exposure. $1 Million limit is $90 per year.
6. Backup of Sewer & Drains
   Damage caused to your property due to backup. In most cases, coverage is left out.
7. Ordinance or Law
8. Flood & Earthquake

Apartment Building Insurance: Suggestions & Recommendations

1. Obtain Certificates of Insurance
   Obtain certificates for contractors working at your property. (Liability – Workers’ Compensation)
2. Review Replacement Value
   Review value and rental income of your apartment building annually as it could fluctuate from year to year due to labor, material costs, and economic conditions.
3. Recommend Renters Insurance
   Recommend to your tenants that they obtain Renters Insurance to properly cover their personal belongings and personal liability exposures.
4. Liability and Workers’ Comp. Exposure
   If you have a commercial or retail tenant, make sure you obtain certificates of liability and workers’ comp. coverage from them naming you (the landlord) as additional insured.
