Homeowners InsuranceQuestion 135 of 215
Which homeowners form provides open-peril ("all-risk") coverage on BOTH the dwelling AND personal property?
a.HO-2
b.HO-3
c.HO-4
d.HO-5
Explanation
The HO-5 Comprehensive Form is the broadest unendorsed homeowners contract sold in the United States. It upgrades the HO-3 by extending open-peril protection from the dwelling to personal property as well, so a loss to either is covered unless an exclusion applies. It carries a higher premium and tighter underwriting because of that broader trigger.
