The short answer is “often yes.” The Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions or CC&Rs of your Homeowner Association or Condominium Association define whether or not your COA/HOA is required to maintain a master insurance policy and the details of coverage that needs to be maintained.
In the vast majority of cases, the CC&Rs do require a master insurance policy to be purchased and maintained. In addition, if any of the home/condo owners used a mortgage to purchase or refinance (which is almost always the case), their lender will require to see proof that the building is covered by a master policy.What is typically included in a condo/apartment building master insurance policy?
A master insurance policy (whether for a condo association/HOA or for a multifamily rental property) typically includes the following components:
Commercial Property - This policy is intended to cover property damage to the building and common areas.
Commercial General Liability - This insurance policy protects the HOA/building owner against liability for claims alleging third bodily injury and/or property damage.
