Apartment owners in Romania will be required by law to have insurance for their homes, according to the Financial Supervision Authority (ASF). The ASF has issued a guide for this purpose, which outlines the requirements for the insurance policy.
The mandatory insurance policy will be issued by the Pool of Insurance Against Natural Disasters (PAID). It can also be issued by authorized insurance companies.
The insurance policy will cover the following risks:
Earthquakes
Landslides
Floods
Direct damage to residential buildings as an indirect result of the three insured risks
The amount of insurance coverage will be:
20,000 euros for Type A dwellings
10,000 euros for Type B dwellings
The insurance premium will be:
20 euros per year for Type A dwellings
10 euros per year for Type B dwellings
The insurance policy will be valid for 12 months or until the building is no longer used as a dwelling.
The mandatory insurance requirement is intended to protect homeowners from financial losses in the event of a natural disaster. It is also a way for the government to ensure that all homes are properly insured.
Here are some of the key points of the new mandatory insurance requirement:
