Condo & Townhouse Earthquake Loss Assessment Coverage
What is it?
Condominium/Townhouse Earthquake Loss Assessment coverage is the amount condo or townhouse unit owners may be assessed by the Strata Corporation in the event of an earthquake.
Residential Condominium/Townhouse buildings may have high earthquake deductibles. The deductible is calculated as a percentage of the building amount of insurance to each condo unit owner based on their entitlement. Therefore, it is important that the condo unit owner ensures the earthquake assessment limit on their own insurance policy is sufficient.
Example:
- Strata policy insures building for $30,000,000
- Strata policy earthquake deductible is $3,000,000 (10%*)
- 30 units/owners in building
- Each unit owner assessed $100,000**
*10% deductible may vary by Insurance Company
**Assessment could vary depending on unit entitlement
