Condo insurance

Co-ownership with peace of mind.

Condo owners, you should know that your home is protected by two insurance contracts. In fact, your home is covered by the co-owner's policy as well as the syndicate of co- ownership's policy. The first protects your property, any improvements made to your condo, and civil liability. The second one also covers civil liability for the whole premises, in addition to the building itself.

Different types of condominiums

As long as a building is owned by more than one person, it is held in co-ownership. There are two types of co-ownership, divided and undivided.

Divided co-ownership insurance

Also known as condominiums, these allow a building to be subdivided into portions. Some of these portions belong only to their owner: these are the private portions. The common areas belong to all the co-owners, in proportion. This is the case for the roof, the exterior walls or the land. A syndicate of co-ownership is responsible for the maintenance of the common areas.

Undivided co-ownership insurance

An undivided co-ownership is when several people acquire real estate and own a share of it. They will then draw up an undivided co-ownership agreement to establish the rules, which must be respected by all owners. These rules may address the obligations and rights of each owner with respect to maintenance, use of the premises, expenses, etc. To learn more about the different types of condominiums, you can consult the Éducaloi website. Make sure you understand what each type of condominium entails in terms of protection. Your Malouin Assurance broker can help you understand this.

General questions

FAQ

I'm renting my condo: how do I get insurance?

Keep in mind that the insurance of the co-owner from whom you are renting the condo will not compensate you in the event of a loss. In this case, as for any apartment, protecting your personal belongings is your responsibility. Although it is not legally required, it would be wise to have tenant insurance. For more advice, contact us! We will be happy to answer all your questions.
