What kind of buildings are categorized as multi-family?

Multi-family dwellings are residential buildings that house more than one family. This includes duplexes, homes and small apartment buildings. Multi-family building owners may or may not live on-site.

Who needs property insurance?

If you own a building, you need business property insurance. And if you own a small residential building that houses more than one family, you specifically need a multi-family property insurance policy. Risks related to weather, wear-and-tear, litigation and tenant accidents are all relevant in apartment building and duplex ownership. Acentria has a team of experts that are well-versed in the space – and can help you protect your property.

What is a condo master policy?

A condo master policy is usually comprised of both liability and property damage coverage. Since it’s the responsibility of the condo association to maintain common areas of the building, it is also their responsibility under the condo master policy to cover medical expenses (i.e.: if a tenant is hurt on-property) or building damage. Premiums typically are drawn from unit owners’ dues. Contact Acentria for additional information on these business property insurance policies.

Does business property insurance cover riots and associated damages?

Many business property insurance policies do cover vandalism and theft caused by riots. If your property is damaged as a result of riots, it’s important to contact your insurance carrier as soon as possible for immediate next steps. It’s also important to be proactive; don’t wait until an incident occurs to ensure optimal protection.
