Condo Insurance in Maryland and Delaware

Your condo could be home or home away from home at the beach. Whether you have a condo in Ocean City, Maryland or Bethany or Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, you want to make sure you have Condo Insurance to cover and protect all your property and belongings.

 

What’s the difference between condo and home insurance?

 

It all comes down to how much your policy needs to protect. For a home, your coverage should include both the inside and outside of the property. When you own a condo, you are only responsible for the interior of the unit and your personal property.

 

Condo association fees may cover some of your insurance needs, including protection for the outside of your building and common areas. What it doesn’t cover is what’s inside your unit which is why you need condo insurance coverage to help protect against losses and repair costs. It often provides protection for theft, vandalism, and fire and water damage.
