Homeowners Section Part I

1. Additional Living ExpenseIf a loss covered under Section I makes thatpart of the "residence premises" where you residenot fit to live in, we cover any necessaryincrease in living expenses incurred by you sothat your household can maintain its normalstandard of living.

Payment will be for the shortest time requiredto repair or replace the damage or, if you permanentlyrelocate, the shortest time requiredfor your household to settle elsewhere.

2. Fair Rental ValueIf a loss covered under Section I makes thatpart of the "residence premises" rented to othersor held for rental by you not fit to live in, wecover the fair rental value of such premisesless any expenses that do not continue while itis not fit to live in.

Payment will be for the shortest time requiredto repair or replace such premises.

3. Civil Authority Prohibits UseIf a civil authority prohibits you from use of the "residence premises" as a result of direct damage to neighboring premises by a Peril Insured Against, we cover the loss as provided in 1.Additional Living Expense and 2. Fair Rental Value above for no more than two weeks.

4. Loss Or Expense Not CoveredWe do not cover loss or expense due to cancellation of a lease or agreement.The periods of time under 1. Additional Living Expense, 2. Fair Rental Value and 3. Civil Authority Prohibits Use above are not limited by expiration of this policy.

There are 12 additional

coverages.

1. Debris Removal a. We will pay your reasonable expense for

the removal of:(1) Debris of covered property if a PerilInsured Against that applies to the damagedproperty causes the loss; or(2) Ash, dust or particles from a volcaniceruption that has caused direct loss to abuilding or property contained in abuilding.This expense is included in the limit of liabilitythat applies to the damaged property.If the amount to be paid for the actual damageto the property plus the debris removalexpense is more than the limit of liability forthe damaged property, an additional 5% ofthat limit is available for such expense.

Here are the key points to remember about this section:

1. Removal coverage applies only to the debris of covered property.

2. If there is no damage to covered property or the cause of loss is not a peril insured against, debris removal does not apply.

3. Coverage is not restricted to debris that is located on the residence premises.

If a tree is blown down by wind or hail it is not covered and a tree owned by the neighbor is not covered property of the insured but this section makes some exceptions up to 1,000.

The tree has to either damage a covered structure or must block a driveway or ramp designed to

assist the handicapped.

2. Reasonable Repairsa. We will pay the reasonable cost incurred byyou for the necessary measures takensolely to protect covered property that isdamaged by a Peril Insured Against fromfurther damage. b. If the measures taken involve repair toother damaged property, we will only pay ifthat property is covered under this policyand the damage is caused by a Peril InsuredAgainst. This coverage does not:(1) Increase the limit of liability that appliesto the covered property; or(2) Relieve you of your duties, in case of aloss to covered property, described inB.4. under Section I – Conditions.

This is a “post loss” benefit.

This is the part of the policy where agents heard the

following:

“I need 4 new pine trees. They were all blown down during Hurricane (Insert any one). “

The aggregate limit is 5% of the Coverage A limit provided as an additional amount of insurance with sublimit of $500 for loss to any one tree, shrub or plant.

4. Fire Department Service ChargeWe will pay up to $500 for your liability assumedby contract or agreement for fire departmentcharges incurred when the fire departmentis called to save or protect coveredproperty from a Peril Insured Against. We donot cover fire department service charges if theproperty is located within the limits of the city,municipality or protection district furnishing thefire department response.This coverage is additional insurance. No deductibleapplies to this coverage.

5. Property RemovedWe insure covered property against direct loss from any cause while being removed from a premises endangered by a Peril Insured Against and for no more than 30 days while removed.This coverage does not change the limit of liability that applies to the property being removed.

Up to 30 days.

It is not required that the card have been stolen; any

basis on which it is subjected to unauthorized use is

covered.

$1,000

Covered Perils: Example #1: Sue has an HO-3 policy and is

assessed for fire damage to the HOA clubhouse. Since fire is a covered peril under her HO-3 her policy responds less deductible.

Example #2: Sue is assessed for flood damage to the same clubhouse. Since flood is not a covered peril under her HO-3 there is no coverage.

Assessments

Example, if a clubhouse were damaged by fire and the HOA made an initial assessment of $3,500 the homeowners policy pays the $1,000 limit (assuming it has not been increased). If, three months later, another assessment is made for the same fire loss there is not an additional $1,000 available for another assessment.

"an abrupt falling down or caving in, with the result that

the building or part of the building cannot be occupied

for its intended use."

Additional wording to ISO policy :

“of a building or any part of a building”

Collapse

damage to, or by, glass is actually a result, rather

than a cause.

10. Landlord's FurnishingsWe will pay up to $2,500 for your appliances,carpeting and other household furnishings, ineach apartment on the "residence premises"regularly rented or held for rental to others byan "insured", for loss caused by a Peril InsuredAgainst in Coverage C, other than Theft.This limit is the most we will pay in any oneloss regardless of the number of appliances,carpeting or other household furnishings involvedin the loss.This coverage does not increase the limit of liabilityapplying to the damaged property.

The insured must reside in one unit; however, the others may be rented.

Gurn’s O&L problems:

$200,000 house sustained $50,000 of damage in the fire.

$50,000 would put the house back just as it was, but contractor says it will take an additional $25,000 to bring the house up to code.

The state of Florida has taken a very strong position on the issue of unauthorized entities. An unauthorized entity is an insurance company that is not licensed by the Florida department of financial services. Agents and brokers have responsibility for conducting reasonable research to ensure that they are not writing policies or placing business with unauthorized entities. Lack of careful screening can result in significant financial loss to Florida residents due to unpaid claims and/or theft of premiums.

UNAUTHORIZED ENTITIES

Agents may be held liable when representing these unauthorized entities. It is the agents and brokers responsibility to give fair and accurate information regarding the companies they represent. Any question about the authorized status of a company can be checked by calling the Florida department of financial services at 877-693-5236 or for out of state agents, 800-413-3089 .We urge all agents and brokers to adhere to this admonition.

For more information on unauthorized entities go to FAIA’s website at www.faia.com and under the Education section you will find a handout that you can download.

Per DFS requirements, you'll need to sign an affidavit for us to process your CE.

Please fax the affidavit to 850-668-2852 OR mail it to PO Box 12129, Tallahassee, FL, 32317
