When you are looking at purchasing homeowners insurance for a condo unit, there are some basic terms to learn in order to make an informed decision.

Studs-out

  • Studs-out policies are held by the HOA and cover the exterior of condo units, community-held group areas such as gyms, clubhouse, sidewalks, roofs, gutters, siding, elevators, and common hallways.

Studs-in

  • What is left for the owner of the condo is called Studs-in insurance.
  • A stud is a 2×4 beam that is used in the framing.
  • Everything on the insides of the studs is your responsibility.

What Studs-in Insurance Covers

  • Replacement of your structure in case it needs to be placed.
  • This cost will be different from your purchase price.
  • The cost of replacing all your personal items.
  • The cost of living expenses while your home is being repaired or replaced.
  • Liability insurance is also a good idea so that you’re covered if anything should happen to a visitor.

All-In

  • Some HOA’s offer what’s called All-In coverage.
  • This type of coverage covers Studs-out and Studs-In
  • Only your personal possessions are not covered by this policy.
