|
Loss of Use |
Optional (Included with Personal Property Coverage) |
Covers additional living expenses if you need to live and eat elsewhere because earthquake damage or a civil authority prevents you from residing in your home.

There is never a deductible for Loss of Use. |
Loss Assessment |
Optional |
Helps pay your share of certain assessments that your homeowners association may levy on its members to pay for earthquake-damage repairs or a master-insurance-policy deductible. This coverage can help with assessments for repairs to certain exterior portions of your condo development and certain common areas. May be purchased alone or with other coverages.
|
Coverage Limits |
Up to $100,000 |
Available in limits of $25,000*, $50,000, $75,000 or $100,000.
* Only available if the Fair Market Value of your unit is $135,000 or less. |
Deductible |
5%, 10%, 15%, 20% or 25% |
Deductible options range from 5% to 25% of the Loss Assessment coverage limit. |
Building Code Upgrade |
Included when Building Property is purchased. |
Local authorities require that rebuilding or significant repair work be performed in a manner consistent with current building codes (not the codes that were in effect when the property was built). This coverage helps pay expenses associated with code-compliant rebuilding or repairs.
|
Coverage Limit |
$10,000 |
Loss Assessment coverage already includes a $10,000 coverage limit for building-code-related upgrades assessed by an HOA. Building Code Upgrade covers up to an additional $10,000 to help bring your condo unit up to current building code standards as repairs are made.
|
Deductible |
Building Code upgrade is paid after your Building Property deductible is met. |
Once your covered damage exceeds your Dwelling or Loss Assessment deductible, you could be eligible for payment for Building Code Upgrades, up to the coverage limit, to help bring your home up to current building code standards as repairs are made.
|
Emergency Repairs |
Included when Building Property Coverage or Personal Property Coverage is purchased. |
Covers earthquake-damage repairs that are needed to protect your condo unit or personal property from further damage (examples: repair broken windows or remove broken glass).
|
Coverage Limits |
$1,500 for repairs to condo unit
$1,000 for repairs to personal property |
Emergency Repairs provide coverage up to $1,500 for repairs to the unit, and up to $1,000 for repairs to personal property. |
Deductible |
Emergency Repairs are paid, up to the respective limits, after Building Property and Personal Property deductibles are met. |
