Comprehensive Insurance for Condominiums in Minnesota
Condominium living provides a unique combination of independence and shared community responsibility. Whether you’re a condo owner in Red Wing, MN, or part of a vibrant condominium association in Ellsworth, WI, it’s essential to understand the type of protection you need. At MBA Insurance Services, we specialize in providing reliable, customized insurance for condominiums that fits your lifestyle, your property, and your long-term peace of mind.


Why Insurance for Condominiums Is Essential
Condominiums differ from traditional single-family homes in a few key ways, particularly in ownership structure and shared responsibilities. While your condo association may carry a master policy that covers the building’s exterior and common areas, that policy often doesn’t extend to your personal unit, belongings, or liability exposure.
That’s where we come in. Our team at MBA Insurance Services works with individual condo owners and associations to provide insurance for condominiums that fills in the gaps and ensures full protection from the unexpected, whether it’s storm damage, theft, or an accident involving a guest.

What Does Insurance for Condominiums Typically Cover?
Every condo insurance policy we write is tailored to the owner’s needs and the association’s coverage. However, most policies include the following key protections:
Interior Unit Coverage (Dwelling)
Protects everything inside your unit not covered by the HOA policy, such as walls, flooring, cabinetry, fixtures, and built-in appliances. We’ll review your association’s master policy to determine how much coverage you actually need.
Personal Property Protection
Covers your belongings such as clothing, furniture, electronics, kitchenware, and more. If a fire, burglary, or water damage affects your condo, this coverage helps you recover and replace your items.
Liability Coverage
If a visitor is injured in your unit or you accidentally cause damage to another unit (like a kitchen fire or water overflow), this protection helps pay for medical expenses, repairs, and legal fees.
Loss of Use
If your condo becomes unlivable due to a covered event, this coverage pays for alternative housing, meals, and other related living expenses while repairs are being made.
Medical Payments to Others
Provides coverage for minor medical claims made by guests, without the need for legal action. This is a helpful safety net for small injuries and helps prevent lawsuits.
Optional Endorsements
We offer several optional coverages to further enhance your policy:
- Water and sewer backup
- Earthquake coverage
- Scheduled valuable items (jewelry, art, collections)
- Identity theft restoration
- Equipment breakdown for in-unit systems

Understanding the Role of Your HOA’s Master Policy
Many condo owners are unaware of what their HOA’s insurance does—and does not—cover. Master policies typically come in two forms:
- Bare Walls Coverage: Covers only the building’s structure and common areas. The unit owner is responsible for everything inside, including walls, flooring, fixtures, etc.
- All-In Coverage: Covers the structure and some components of the interior, but usually excludes personal property and custom upgrades.
At MBA Insurance Services, we regularly review master policies with our clients to:
- Clarify what’s covered by the HOA
- Identify where you need additional protection
- Ensure no gaps or overlapping coverage exist

We don’t just work with individual condo owners. MBA Insurance Services also provides complete insurance solutions for condominium associations, including:
- Property coverage for shared spaces (roofs, lobbies, walkways)

We assist with compliance, board education, and policy interpretation, making us a reliable partner for associations of all sizes.
