After extensive negotiations with underwriters of the group Property Insurance Program (PIP), they have agreed to include the following coverages at no cost for all locations, effective with this year’s renewal on 7/1/26:
- Earthquake (deductible = 5% of building value);
- Flood (deductible = $100,000);
- Named storm (deductible = 5% of building value);
- Thunderstorm/wind/hail (deductible = 1% of building value);
- Pipe freeze/water freeze (included in standard decuctible and no sublimits on coverage).
By including the above coverages for all PIP participants at no cost, house corporations will receive an average cost savings of ~33% vs. the original renewal quotes.
House corporations no longer have to make any determinations about accepting/declining specific coverages. The only decision now required is the preferred deductible amount for all other perils (options range from $2,500-$25,000 on page 4 of this form).
General liaiblity, D&O, and commercial crime coverages are already provided for house corporations in the PIP at no cost.
