The landlord can ask for a damage deposit when you get your pet. This is fair and covers any possible damage the dog may do. If your dog doesn't do any damage you are entitled to the damage deposit back when you move. Many motels and hotels in Canada and the U.S. ask for a deposit of up to $50 or more if you bring along a pet. In the morning when you are paying your bill they will have one of their employees inspect the room and if all is well you get your $50 back. Marcy
No. Skylights would not effect the cost of homeowners insurance.
Yes, it is possible for your escrow payment to increase if there are changes in your property taxes or homeowners insurance premiums.
Factors that can lead to a mortgage escrow increase include property tax increases, changes in homeowners insurance premiums, and fluctuations in the cost of private mortgage insurance.
It is unlawful to intentionally under insure your home. Your insurance company is required to review your homeowners policy regularly to insure that you are properly insured and that your homeowners policy is in compliance with the law as well as the terms of any associated mortgage note.
In fact, certain claims on your homeowners policy could lead to an increase.
not much. should not matter too much. homeowner's insurance is anyway too low.
Several factors can contribute to an increase in escrow payments, including rising property taxes, increases in homeowners insurance premiums, and changes in mortgage interest rates. These factors can lead to higher overall costs for homeowners, resulting in an increase in the amount needed to be set aside in escrow to cover these expenses.
It all depends on the type of claim. If the adjuster believes that the claim can be a predictor of future additional risk, he/she will probably recommend increasing rates.
A single claim for burglary is not likely to increase your premium at all However, if you have had multiple burglary claims and have taken no measures to secure against future break in, then Yes, you can expect your rates to increase at your next renewal date or your policy could be cancelled due to a lack of homeowner moral or due to an increase in risk factors.
An escrow increase can affect your mortgage payment by causing it to go up. This is because an escrow account is used to pay for property taxes and homeowners insurance, and if these costs increase, your monthly payment will also increase to cover the higher expenses.
Even with a fixed mortgage rate, your house payments can increase due to changes in property taxes, homeowners insurance, or private mortgage insurance (PMI). These costs are often included in your monthly payment through an escrow account, and if they rise, your overall payment will too. Additionally, if you live in a community with homeowners association (HOA) fees, those can also increase over time.
Every homeowners policy is unique and you need to read through your policy to be sure but I can tell you that most homeowners policies will cover your personal property. Your homeowners policy will actually cover your personal property anywhere in the world (depending on your specific policy). If your clubs were stolen from your car and you are thinking of filing a claim just remember that you will be responsible for your homeowners deductible which is usually around $1,000. That means that you are responsible for the first $1,000 so if your clubs are worth $1,200 you would get a check for $200 from your insurance company. Most golf clubs aren't worth that much but if yours are do you really want to file a claim to get a $200 check? After you file that claim your homeowners insurance premium will increase for 3-5 years because you will be considered a higher risk by the insurance companies. One other thing to consider is that if your car windows were broken during the theft you will also have to file a claim with your auto insurance company if you want them to cover the window. Most auto policies will replace glass for free or very little.
