What is New Jersey condo insurance (ho6 insurance)?
Condominium Insurance, commonly referred to as ”walls in coverage” is intended to protect condo unit owners from many possible losses that occur. Generally speaking, an attached condo is covered by a master association policy for certain potential claims, but there are many risks that are not covered, such as damage to your personal property, such as your furnishings, cameras, clothes, and computers. Your interior upgrades, such cabinetry, flooring, and other enhancements are also at risk.
Do you think that the liability claims are not a risk for condo owners? Think about these sample claims:
- a common slip/fall type of claim
- a fire from your unit damages the unit adjacent to yours
- your washing machine overflows and leaks into another unit.
- your dog gets loose and bites someone
A partial list of available coverages for owned-occupied condos:
- Coverage for additions and alterations- to protect the interior of your condo unit (not on all policies, but highly recommended)
- Personal Property Coverage - to protect your personal belongings and other items that may not be crucial to the reconstruction of your condo
- Loss of Use Coverage
- Personal Liability - to protect against claims of bodily injury and property damage
- Medical Payments

Why buy New Jersey condo insurance?
The answer is simple — because a master or homeowners association policy usually does not provide coverage for your personal belongings (referred to as personal property), your liability, or even your upgrades to your unit. There are often many upgrades in a unit, so consider potential claims for damage to your flooring, cabinets, countertops, and more.
