What is strata water deductible, and why would I need to top it up?

As a Condo owner, you have a Strata corporation that has insurance for the building as a whole including shared common areas, in addition to your own condo policy which covers your individual unit. Your strata’s insurance policy has certain deductibles that they would charge each owner in the event of a claim. Your base policy will provide coverage for this in Condo Deductible Protection, so be sure to match this coverage with what your strata requires. Unfortunately, in recent months a large number of BC Strata Corporations have seen their water deductibles increase significantly, which now far exceeds the limit offered by the insurance carrier covering the individual condos. In other words, the strata deductible offered in your base policy can be much lower than what the strata corporation requires. Therefore, to ensure you are not held personally responsible for the difference in the event of a claim, you can purchase a top-up or buy-back coverage to match what the strata requires. Our buy-back option addresses the exposure after both the building policy and the personal condo policy have exhausted their limits, essentially closing the gap.

Why do I need tenant insurance? Isn’t insurance my landlord’s responsibility?

Both parties should have an insurance policy as each one will cover different things. The landlord's insurance covers the property itself, their contents, loss of rental income, and premise liability. This coverage does not extend to tenants. Tenants insurance covers your personal belongings, your own tenant liability insurance, and any extra living expenses that you would incur should you have to temporarily relocate while your place is being repaired.

How many roommates are allowed on a tenants insurance policy?

Is New Vehicle Replacement Insurance worth having on a leased vehicle?

Yes! Nowadays, most leasing companies will build GAP insurance into their contracts, but most people don’t realize that GAP is more designed to protect the Lessor as opposed to the Lessee. In the event of a Total Loss, GAP insurance will make up the difference between what a person owes on their leasing contract and the vehicle’s actual cash value. This leaves the Lessee with no vehicle, and nothing to put towards a new one. Our New Car Replacement policy would pay the Insured the difference between the actual cash value settlement that the Lessor received for the loss vehicle, and the cost of the brand new model year, which can then be applied as a down payment towards a new lease or financing contract for a replacement vehicle.
