Strata insurance is complicated by the fact that there are two parties involved: the strata corporation and the unit owners. That said, it’s important to note the fundamental difference between the strata building policy (also known as the master strata policy) and the unit owner’s policy. - See below
This type of policy covers strata corporations and is designed to insure the collective interests of shareholders and the strata corporation itself. Typically, strata insurance is available for commercial, residential, and mixed-use buildings.
These policies cover the personal interests of the unit owners, such as personal property, any improvements and betterments done tothe unit, and personal liability. In addition, these policies are designed to compliment the strata corporation's policy.
The buildings shown on the strata plan / Common property such as hallways, stairs, roofs, pools, garages and driveways / Fixtures built or installed as part of the original construction, including things like floor and wall coverings or electrical and plumbing fixtures / Strata assets like furniture and equipment / Liability of the strata corporation for property damage and bodily injury claims
Personal property such as clothing, household items, furniture and items stored in lockers / Unit upgrades (betterments or improvements)—such as custom hardwood flooring—made by current and previous unit owners / Expenses over and above the normal cost of living in the event that the owner is unable to live in their home following an insured loss / Unit owner’s personal liability for any bodily injury or property damage unintentionally caused to others.
Water damage is the number one reason stratas in BC make an insurance claim. A burst pipe, overflowing bathtub, leaky washing machine or clogged drain— whatever the cause, the leak can quickly escalate into a serious problem for both residents and strata council members.
Yes, you will still need a separate insurance policy providing coverage for any improvements and betterments, deductible assessment, liability, and loss of income coverage.
A specified amount of money the insured must pay in the event of a claim before the insurance company will pay for a claim covered by the strata’s policy.
