Michigan Homeowner Insurance Requirements
In the event you fail to provide proof of coverage, your lender will likely purchase an insurance policy themselves and make payments on it using your escrow funds. This is known as “force-placed” insurance.
Even if you are not financing your home, purchasing homeowner insurance is a wise idea, as replacing your home and possessions if they suffer damage could be quite costly.
FAQs About Homeowners Insurance In Michigan
What affects my homeowners insurance rates?
Known in the insurance world as attractive nuisances, pools, and trampolines can increase your premium, along with wood-burning stoves and owning a breed of dog considered aggressive. Conversely, installing a home security system may reduce your premium.
Finally, previous claims can cause a spike in your premium because insurers perceive your home as a higher risk. If the claims start to stack up, you may lose your coverage altogether.
Which home insurance terms should I learn?
- Premium – The rate charged by a homeowner insurance carrier to provide cover and pay claims.
- Deductible – The amount of money for which you are responsible to pay before your insurance company covers the remainder of the claim. A high deductible usually means a low premium and vice versa.
- Limit – The maximum amount an insurance policy will pay out for a covered loss.
- Liability coverage – Covers losses for bodily injury or property damage suffered by others while on the homeowner’s property, as well as medical and legal expenses accrued as a result of lawsuits.
- Property coverage – Protection of property or land against damage or loss.
- Dwelling coverage – Protection for the physical structure of your home.
- Guest medical coverage – Covers medical expenses incurred by anyone who sustains injuries while on your property.
How do I compare homeowner insurance quotes?
While you may be tempted to choose a lower insurance rate, remember that your deductible will be higher. Along the same lines, a higher insurance rate will result in a lower deductible. It is up to you to decide which situation is right for you.
Along with the basic coverage, take into account any additional coverage you may need. For example, if you have expensive appraised jewelry at home, you may want to consider purchasing scheduled personal property insurance.
