Home Insurance FAQs
What is covered by a standard home insurance policy?
Home Insurance
States don’t require you to carry home insurance, but most mortgage companies do. Considering the substantial value of most houses, it is often prudent to have home insurance under any circumstance for example, oftentimes, when a mortgage exceeds the reconstruction cost of a home, the mortgage company will ask you to insure for the mortgage amount. However, by NJ state law, so long as you have replacement cost coverage you cannot be compelled to insure for more.
