SF Condo Insurance: What You Need to Know

The San Francisco insurance market has tightened significantly. Here’s what Renou buyers should understand about insuring a condo in San Francisco.

Carrier Pullbacks in SF

Several major carriers have reduced their appetite for San Francisco properties due to wildfire-adjacent risk, earthquake exposure, and loss history. Fewer options means working with an independent broker who represents multiple carriers is more important than ever.

New Construction Advantage

Renou is new construction — built to modern building codes with fire suppression systems, updated electrical, and contemporary materials. This typically means better insurability and more competitive rates compared to older SF buildings.

HOA Master Policy vs. Your Policy

Your HOA carries a master policy that covers the building’s structure and common areas. But it does not cover your unit’s interior, personal belongings, or your liability. That’s where your individual condo policy (HO-6) comes in.

Why an Independent Broker Matters

Unlike a captive agent (who sells one company’s products), Nadler Insurance shops across multiple top-rated carriers to find the best coverage and price for your Renou unit. We’ve been doing this in the Bay Area since 1927.

Owner-Occupied

Condo Insurance (HO-6) for Owners

If you’re moving into your Renou unit, an HO-6 condo policy covers everything from your walls in — where the HOA master policy stops.

Interior & Fixtures

Covers walls-in: flooring, cabinets, countertops, appliances, and upgrades inside your unit.

Personal Property

Protects furniture, electronics, clothing, and valuables against theft, fire, and covered perils.

Liability Protection

Covers legal costs and damages if someone is injured in your unit or you cause damage to another unit.

Loss of Use

Pays for temporary housing if your unit becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss.

Lender requirement: If you’re financing your Renou purchase, your lender will require an HO-6 policy before close of escrow. We can have your policy ready in time.

Investment Property

Landlord Insurance for Rental Condos

Buying a Renou unit as an investment? You’ll need a landlord dwelling policy (DP-3) instead of a standard HO-6.

Dwelling Coverage

Protects your unit's structure (walls-in) and any improvements you've made as a landlord.

Rental Income

Reimburses lost rent if your unit becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss.

Landlord Liability

Covers legal costs if a tenant or visitor is injured in your rental unit.

Landlord Contents

Protects appliances, fixtures, and any furnishings you provide for tenants.

Don’t Overlook Personal Injury Coverage

Standard landlord liability covers bodily injury — like a slip-and-fall in your unit. But it typically does not cover personal injury claims such as wrongful eviction, discrimination, or invasion of privacy. In San Francisco’s highly regulated rental market, these claims are more common than you’d think. We’ll make sure your liability coverage is endorsed to include personal injury protection — a critical addition for any SF landlord.

Becoming a San Francisco Landlord?

San Francisco has some of the most complex tenant-landlord regulations in the country. If you’re planning to rent out your Renou unit, we strongly recommend joining the San Francisco Apartment Association (SFAA). SFAA provides education, legal resources, and advocacy for SF rental property owners — an essential resource for navigating rent control, eviction rules, and compliance.

A Note on Renters Insurance

Whether you’re renting out your Renou unit or know someone who rents — renters insurance is one of the most affordable and important policies a tenant can carry.

Liability Protection

Covers legal costs if a tenant causes accidental damage to another unit or someone is injured in their home.

Personal Property

Protects a tenant’s belongings against theft, fire, water damage, and other covered events.

Loss of Use

Pays for temporary housing costs if the rental becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss.

As a landlord, consider requiring tenants to carry renters insurance as a condition of the lease. We can help your tenants get covered too — learn more about renters insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need condo insurance if my HOA already has a master policy?
Yes. The HOA master policy typically covers the building's structure and common areas, but it does not cover your unit's interior (walls-in), personal belongings, liability, or loss of use. An individual HO-6 condo policy fills these gaps and is usually required by your mortgage lender.
What is the difference between an HO-6 and a landlord (DP-3) policy?
An HO-6 policy is for owner-occupied condos and covers your interior, personal property, liability, and loss of use. A DP-3 (dwelling property) policy is designed for investment/rental condos and covers the dwelling, rental income loss, landlord liability, and any furnishings you provide — but does not cover the tenant's personal belongings.
Is it hard to get condo insurance in San Francisco right now?
The SF insurance market has tightened as several carriers have pulled back due to wildfire risk, earthquake exposure, and loss history. However, new construction buildings like Renou are generally easier to insure because of modern fire suppression systems and updated building codes. Working with an independent broker like Nadler Insurance gives you access to multiple carriers to find the best rate.
Do I need earthquake insurance for my Renou condo?
Earthquake insurance is not required by law or lenders in California, but it is strongly recommended — especially in San Francisco. Standard condo and landlord policies do not cover earthquake damage. We can quote standalone earthquake coverage through the California Earthquake Authority (CEA) or private carriers.
When do I need my condo insurance policy in place?
If you are financing your purchase, your lender will require proof of insurance (an HO-6 policy) before close of escrow. We recommend starting the process 2–3 weeks before your closing date so there's no delay. We can often bind coverage within 24–48 hours.
Should I require my tenants to have renters insurance?
Yes, we strongly recommend it. Requiring renters insurance as a lease condition protects both you and your tenant. It covers the tenant's personal property and liability, reducing your exposure as a landlord. We can also help your tenants get renters insurance through Nadler Insurance.
