Living in a condo is the perfect solution for many Alabama residents. You can find condos close to the ocean, downtown or even rural areas, and they provide residents amenities such as fitness centers, parks, and even pools, without the worry of upkeep or maintenance. One major factor in renting or owning a condo, however, is having condo insurance to cover the condo and your possessions. While it's not legally required, it's a wise investment. A local insurance agent can help you get quotes on a reasonably priced condo policy.

Use our independent agent matching system to find the best insurance plan in your area. You tell us what you’re looking for, and our technology will recommend the best agents for you. Any information you provide will be sent to only the agents you pick. We do not sell to third parties.

Alabama Condo Snapshot

  • The average price of a condo in AL is $160,000.
  • The average rent in AL is $689.
  • The average vacancy rate in AL is 7.79 percent.
  • Recently, 31.29 percent of residents were renters.

Condos are a popular lifestyle choice for many people, whether they are young adults or retirees. Additionally, condos offer the best of both worlds, whether you rent or own. Condos suffer a statistically higher crime rate than owned homes. There were more than 168,000 property crimes in previous years. If you live in a condo, a condo insurance policy is one way to protect yourself from becoming a statistic.

Condo Insurance Coverage Options in Alabama

Condo insurance protects you as a renter or owner of a condo. A typical condo policy may contain the following options:

  • Liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage: Accidents happen. If an accident occurs on your property, you may be liable for court costs, legal fees and judgments. Liability coverage can help you cover those costs.
  • Personal property: This coverage covers your personal belongings inside the condo such as clothing, electronics, furniture, and appliances from incidents such as theft, fire, wind, rain and other disasters.
  • Vacant condo coverage: Some condominium and townhome owners leave their properties vacant or use them as vacation or part-time homes. This affordable coverage helps provide protection for the residence while you're away.

The Difference Between Owning and Renting a Condo

When it comes to insurance, owning and renting are two very different things. When you rent a condo, you only need to get personal property protection and liability protection to cover your risks and assets. The landlord's policy will not cover your belongings or your liability, meaning that you may be liable for any damage to your personal property or injury that happens in your condo. When you own a townhome or condo, however, your insurance policy will closely resemble a homeowners policy. Lenders will require you to carry insurance on the condo you choose to purchase in order to protect their investment and yours.
