Cadence Design Systems employees may benefit from understanding how the ownership structure of a condominium unit is different from that of a single-family house. Here’s what you need to know when purchasing insurance for your condo.

1. Understand the Master Policy

For Cadence Design Systems employees worried about condo insurance, since the ownership of all common areas is shared with other condo owners, the association of owners typically purchases insurance coverage (a master policy) for the common areas, e.g., hallways, exterior walls, etc. The condo association’s policy will outline what is covered and what is not.

2. Three Types of Coverage

There are three basic types of coverage under a master policy that those employed at Cadence Design Systems should be aware of.

Primary buildings and common areas
Your unit and any items within your unit, other than personal belongings
Building, unit, and any fixtures

The individual coverage you may consider depends upon the scope of coverage of the master policy. Cadence Design Systems employees should also try to determine what is and isn’t covered under the master policy – this can influence the coverage you may need.

3. Know the Master Policy Deductible

Generally, an association’s master policy has a deductible that is charged pro-rata among unit owners in the event of a claim. Determining that obligation is important because while it may never materialize, it could represent a meaningful financial commitment.
