Speakers:
        George Winiecki delivered a graduate-level course on home insurance. He described different ways states allocate losses, different ways regions determine rates, and the effect that major natural and man-made disasters are having on the viability of insurers, homeowners’ rates, and even the availability of insurance. The latter can depend the location and condition of the property, whether single or multiple dwelling units, and prior claims among other things.
        In Florida, disaster claims that exceed the insurer’s ability to pay are covered by Florida taxpayers. If the federal government steps in, we pay.
        Rates are increasing 25% - 100% in Minnesota. Some applicants are denied coverage, and some companies are amending their plans to cover only the depreciated value of roofs rather than replacement value.  Policies are changed to provide high deductibles for wind and hail damage – especially for townhouses, condominiums, etc. In 2022, Minnesota had 25 hailstorms; in 2023, 37 hailstorms.
Reasons why plans can be canceled by the insurance company include non-payment or late payment of premiums, untruth on the application, (ex., coverage has previously been declined or not renewed for the property), multiple claims (2 or more non-Acts-of-God losses), violation of terms such as grills on decks if prohibited, age of property, poor credit, claims history of the property, animal bite claims, or insurance company leaving the area. Coverage can be denied for any reason during the first 59 days of the contract.
        George strongly advised having personal excess liability coverage and very carefully read every word of small print when your policy is up for renewal.
