Homeowners Policy (HO)Question 291 of 474
The HO-8 modified Homeowners form is intended for:
a.Renters who insure their contents but not the building
b.Older homes whose replacement cost exceeds market value
c.New luxury homes needing the broadest available coverage
d.Condominium owners insuring interior building items
Explanation
The HO-8 modified form is designed for older or historic homes where replacing with identical materials would cost far more than the home's market value. It settles losses on a functional replacement or actual cash value basis rather than full replacement cost, keeping the policy affordable and insurable. Renters use HO-4, condo owners use HO-6, and the broadest coverage is the HO-5 comprehensive form.
