The Facts about Indiana Home Insurance
Do you live in Indiana? Whether your home’s an apartment in Fishers, a house in Carmel, or a condo in Indianapolis, proper home insurance protects your valuable assets. Farms require special policies not discussed in this article.
Insurance companies offer five basic varieties of homeowners insurance to serve renters, and house or condominium owners. Each of these options includes liability insurance to defend and pay for losses associated with maintaining a premise. The differences regard the type of property covered and for what perils:
For houses:
- HO-2 Insures the house structure and contents against “named perils”. These named perils include: fire, lightning, weather related damages (hail, windstorm), cars or airplanes colliding with the structure, people related (riot, vandalism) and collateral damage (smoke, debris removal)
- HO-3 Covers the structure for any peril except the exclusions: wear and tear, war, government interventions, earth movement to name a few. Contents coverage remains named perils.
- HO-5 Covers structures and contents for any peril except those excluded.
For apartments:
- HO-4 insures your contents similarly to an HO-2.
For Condominiums:
- HO-6 insures contents like an HO-4, but adds some structural coverage for walls, kitchens, the physical structure owned, and the partial ownership of community property.
