Which Homeowners form covers both the dwelling and personal property on an open-perils basis?
- AHO-3 (Special form)
- BHO-5 (Comprehensive form)Correct
- CHO-2 (Broad form)
- DHO-8 (Modified form)
Why: The HO-5 comprehensive form insures both the dwelling and personal property on an open-perils basis, the broadest coverage among standard forms. The HO-3 special form covers the dwelling on an open-perils basis but personal property only on a named-perils basis. HO-2 covers both on named-perils, and HO-8 is a modified form for older homes that pays on a repair-cost or actual cash value basis rather than full replacement.
