What Are The Homeowners Insurance Policies HO-3 & HO-5?

HO-3 & HO-5 insure a residence, whether a dwelling or a townhouse unit. Also cover detached structures, personal property, and liability exposure.

What Are The Differences Between The Two?
The differences are the Perils (risks, causes of damage) you are insured for.

  • Named Peril – damage is only covered if specifically named
  • Open Perils – damage is covered unless specifically excluded

An HO-3: Structure insured for Open Perils, personal property for Named Perils. An HO-5: Structure and personal property are both insured for Open Perils

What Are The Benefits Between The Two?

The burden is on the homeowner during a claim to prove that coverage is also applicable to their Personal Property.

The burden is on the insurance company to prove that there is no coverage for the claim.
