DP-3特别表格以开放危险（全险）方式承保住宅及其他建筑，即未明确除外的任何损失原因均在保障范围内。然而DP-3下的个人财产仍按指名危险方式承保。DP-1全部采用指名危险，DP-2全部采用扩展的指名危险，HO-3则属于房主保险表格，并非住宅表格。

DP-1基本表格以实际现金价值（ACV）方式赔付，即重置成本减去折旧。住宅的重置成本保障通常仅在DP-2和DP-3下可用（须满足80%共保条件）。约定价值和功能性重置成本均非DP-1的默认赔付方式。

ISO住宅财产表格适用于一至四户家庭的住宅建筑，无论由业主自住还是出租给租户使用。六单元公寓楼超过四户家庭上限，必须以商业或公寓楼项目承保。便利店属商业风险，公寓单元的室内保障应在房主HO-6表格下投保。

在标准ISO住宅财产表格下，B项保障（其他建筑）自动按A项保障限额的10%提供。A项保障为30万美元时，B项保障为3万美元。该10%在DP-2和DP-3下属于额外保险，在DP-1下除非另选项否则包含在A项限额之内。

附加生活费用（E项保障）仅作为DP-2和DP-3的标准保障包含其中，因为这两种较广泛的表格通常承保业主自住住宅，住宅不能居住时会产生额外费用。DP-1提供公平租金价值（D项保障），但除非加批单否则不包含ALE。

与房主保单不同，住宅财产表格（DP-1、DP-2、DP-3）属于纯财产合同，其基础表格不包含任何个人责任或医疗费用保障。个人责任（L项）和医疗费用（M项）必须通过批单（通常为个人责任补充批单）添加，才能提供类似房主保单第二部分的保障。

ISO的标准重置成本条款要求被保险人在损失发生时投保金额至少为住宅完整重置价值的80%。若不足80%，保险公司按ACV或损失的比例分摊额中较大者赔付。投保100%可保证全额赔付，但触发重置成本利益的门槛为80%。

标准住宅保单不将盗窃列为承保危险。被保险人可购买盗窃保障批单（根据居住情况分为广泛盗窃或有限盗窃批单），将盗窃危险加入保单，通常对珠宝、枪支和银器等高被盗物品设有分项限额。这与房主保单不同——房主保单自动包含盗窃。

ISO住宅财产表格包含空置条款，规定如果住宅在损失发生前连续空置超过60天，保险公司将不赔付故意破坏或恶意损害、玻璃破碎、自动喷淋系统漏水、盗窃（如已加批）以及水渍造成的损失。其他危险（如火灾）仍按保单其他条款承保。

出租给租户的两户家庭住宅（双拼住宅）因单元数不超过四户而符合住宅财产项目的资格。要获得最广泛的建筑保障（开放危险并按80%共保提供重置成本），DP-3特别表格最合适。DP-1最为有限。HO-4和HO-6为针对住户的租户和公寓表格，而非建筑业主使用。

D项保障即公平租金价值，赔付被保险人因承保危险导致住宅不宜居住期间，已出租或拟出租部分本应收取的租金收入，扣除不再继续发生的费用。E项保障（ALE）适用于被保险人本人居住单元因故无法居住的情形，本题并非此种情况。

DP-2属于指名危险表格，在DP-1基础危险之上增加了所谓的"扩展危险"，包括坠物；冰、雪或冰雹重量；水或蒸汽的意外排放或溢出；供暖系统突然意外破裂；管道冻结；以及人工电流造成的突然损坏。住宅开放危险是DP-3的特点。地震和洪水在所有DP表格下均被除外。

所有ISO住宅财产表格均除外地壳运动（地震、山体滑坡、泥石流、地面塌陷）以及洪水、法规或法律、疏忽、战争、核危险和故意造成的损失。地震保障须单独购买，在加州通常通过加州地震局（CEA）或私人地震保单办理。

列明个人财产批单（又称个人物品清单或内陆海运浮动保单）逐项列明高价值物品的描述与限额，提供更广泛、通常为开放危险的保障，并避免C项保障对珠宝、艺术品、枪支等财产的分项限额。法规或法律批单承保建筑法规相关费用，重置成本批单升级赔付方式，地震批单则承保地震。

ISO住宅表格除外因执行任何规范建造、修理或拆除的法规或法律而增加的施工费用。法规或法律批单加回该保障，通常以A项保障的一定比例提供，用于赔付在修复或重建过程中遵守建筑规范所增加的费用。仅A项保障并不包括此项除外回购。

所有DP表格下的个人财产均按实际现金价值（ACV）赔付，即重置成本减去折旧。个人财产重置成本批单可选购，将C项保障改为重置成本赔付。约定价值适用于某些商业财产合同，而非标准住宅个人财产。

Dwelling (DP) policies are designed primarily for property coverage on residences, including rentals and non-owner-occupied homes, and they do not automatically include personal liability or medical payments coverage; liability must be added by endorsement. Homeowners policies package property and personal liability together. This makes the Dwelling form flexible for landlords and situations that do not fit a standard Homeowners eligibility.

The Dwelling Special form (DP-3) is the broadest, insuring the dwelling and other structures on an open-perils (all-risk) basis while covering personal property on a named-perils basis. The Basic form (DP-1) is the narrowest, covering a short list of named perils, and the Broad form (DP-2) adds more named perils but is still not open-perils. Broader coverage generally means higher premium.

In the Dwelling program, Coverage A insures the dwelling structure itself. Coverage B insures other structures, Coverage C insures personal property, Coverage D provides fair rental value if a rented dwelling becomes uninhabitable, and Coverage E provides additional living expense for an owner-occupant. Knowing the standardized coverage letters is essential and is consistent across the country.

Fair Rental Value (Coverage D) reimburses a landlord for lost rental income when a covered peril makes the rented dwelling unfit to live in, limited to the time reasonably required to repair. Additional Living Expense (Coverage E) instead pays the extra costs an owner-occupant incurs to maintain a normal standard of living elsewhere. The two coverages address different insureds: a landlord versus a resident owner.

Homeowners forms are eligible only while the named insured occupies the dwelling as a residence, so once the owner moves out and rents the house to others the risk belongs in the dwelling program. The notion that a homeowners policy cannot insure a one-family house is backwards, since that is the risk it was built for. Renting does not limit recovery to market value either.

Dwelling forms are written for residences holding a small number of family units, so a twelve-unit apartment building is a commercial habitational risk that belongs on a commercial property or package policy. Seasonal dwellings, rented dwellings, and dwellings under construction are all ordinary dwelling-program risks. Owner occupancy is not required by the dwelling forms.

Builders risk insures a structure while it is being built along with the materials and supplies at the site that will become part of it. General liability answers third-party injury and damage claims, not damage to the builder's own work in progress. A floater written on a finished home responds to nothing during the construction period.

A building under construction is written to its completed value, because the amount at risk climbs toward that figure as the work goes on and the form measures any loss against the work actually in place. Setting the limit at the work finished so far would leave the insured short within weeks. Land, permits, and the builder's profit are not covered property.

Vandalism or malicious mischief is suspended once the dwelling has been vacant beyond the period the form allows, because an empty building is a far easier target; the other perils keep running. The policy does not cut the payment in half. Vacancy is not limited in its effect to theft, which the unendorsed dwelling policy does not insure in the first place.

Fire, lightning, and internal explosion are the three perils the unendorsed basic form insures, so an explosion occurring inside the described dwelling is covered as the form stands. The endorsement answer confuses this with the broader explosion peril that reaches blasts originating outside the building. The form pays the resulting building damage, not merely appliances.

The basic form's explosion peril reaches only an explosion occurring inside the described dwelling, while extended coverage substitutes a broader explosion peril that includes a blast originating outside the building. Vandalism, liability, and theft endorsements each add something else entirely and would leave this wall unpaid. Extended coverage also brings windstorm or hail, riot, aircraft, vehicles, smoke, and volcanic eruption.

Extended coverage adds windstorm or hail, explosion, riot or civil commotion, aircraft, vehicles, smoke, and volcanic eruption. Vandalism or malicious mischief is a separate endorsement bought after extended coverage is already on the policy, and it carries its own vacancy condition. Riot, aircraft damage, and volcanic ash all sit inside the extended coverage group itself.

The smoke peril covers sudden and accidental smoke damage, so a furnace puff-back that coats the interior is paid. Smoke from agricultural smudging and smoke from industrial operations are written out of the peril itself. Staining that builds up over years is neither sudden nor accidental, so the wording decides all four of these situations the same way.

The windstorm peril reaches rain, snow, or sleet driven inside only when the wind or hail first makes an opening in the roof or an outside wall. A window the occupants left open is not an opening the storm created, so the water damage stays with the family. Calling carpet real property is not the reason; the missing element is the storm-made opening.

The vehicles peril does not pay for damage to fences, driveways, or walks caused by a vehicle owned or operated by someone living at the described location, so the owner's own pickup puts this loss outside the peril. A fence is covered property as another structure; it is the identity of the driver that removes the coverage. The deductible never becomes the issue here.

Volcanic action covers the airborne blast and shock waves of an eruption together with the ash, dust, and particulate matter it throws out, and a lava flow. The earth movement wording keeps out the tremors and land shock waves that accompany an eruption, and settling of soil is excluded earth movement as well. Flood stays excluded whatever set it off.

Weight of ice, snow, or sleet is one of the perils the broad form adds, so a basic form carrying only extended coverage does not insure it and this collapse goes unpaid. Windstorm or hail answers wind and hailstones, not a static snow load resting on a roof. Falling objects means something striking from outside, not the building's own accumulated load, and a detached garage is covered property as another structure.

Accidental discharge or overflow of water is a broad form peril that pays for the damage the escaping water causes, while the system or appliance the water came from is not itself covered under that peril. Replacing the split pipe is therefore the owner's own cost. Treating escaping water as excluded altogether describes the basic form rather than the broad form.

The freezing peril applies only where the insured used reasonable care to maintain heat in the building or shut off the water supply and drained the system. Letting an empty house go cold with water still standing in the lines takes the loss outside the peril, even though freezing is otherwise insured on the broad form. The age of the pipe is not what decides it.

Falling objects pays for damage inside the building only when the falling object first damages the roof or an outside wall, and here the limb did damage the roof, so the interior crack is covered as well. Had the ceiling cracked with the roof untouched, the interior damage would not be paid. The peril is not limited to the cost of removing the limb.

A tenant may buy a dwelling policy on household goods, and building additions and alterations made at the tenant's own expense are insured under the personal property coverage, subject to a limit the form states. Treating them as part of the landlord's building would leave the tenant nothing for what she paid for. The landlord's consent is not a coverage condition.

Theft of the insured's property is not a peril any dwelling form insures, so it comes only from a theft endorsement written onto the policy. Moving to the broad or special form adds perils such as weight of ice and snow and accidental discharge of water, and extended coverage adds windstorm, riot, aircraft, and the rest. A bigger limit cannot create a peril that is absent.

Open perils means every cause of loss except the ones the form excludes, and earth movement is a standard exclusion, so shifting soil is unpaid even on the broadest dwelling form. The error is reading open perils as unlimited. Collapse wording does not restore a cause of loss the policy already excluded, and the special form insures the dwelling, not contents alone.

Motorized equipment used to service the described location and not licensed for road use, such as a lawn tractor, is insured personal property, while a car licensed for the road is not. Dwelling forms list money and securities as property not covered, which is one place they are narrower than a homeowners form. Property of roomers unrelated to the insured is outside the coverage too.

Other structures coverage does not apply to a structure rented or held for rental to anyone who is not a tenant of the described dwelling, unless the structure is used only as a private garage. A cottage let to an unrelated student is exactly that excluded use, so the fire loss falls outside the coverage. Rent collected is not netted against a building loss.

Fair rental value pays the rent the dwelling would have earned less the expenses that do not continue while it stands empty: $1,800 minus $200 is $1,600 a month, and three months of that is $4,800. Paying the full $5,400 ignores the saved expenses and hands the owner more than the actual loss. The coverage runs for the time reasonably required to repair.

Additional living expense pays the increase in living costs rather than the whole bill, so $3,900 less the $2,400 the family would have spent anyway leaves $1,500 a month. Paying the full $3,900 would leave them better off than before the fire, which indemnity does not allow. The coverage runs for the shortest time needed to repair or to settle elsewhere.

The basic form settles building losses at actual cash value, which is replacement cost minus depreciation: $60,000 less $18,000 is $42,000. The deductible then comes off that settlement, leaving a check for $41,000. Taking the deductible off replacement cost and ignoring depreciation would produce $59,000, which is not how the basic form settles a loss.

The condition asks for insurance of at least 80% of $250,000, which is $200,000. Only $150,000 was carried, so the replacement cost settlement is cut to the ratio of $150,000 to $200,000, or 75%, and 75% of the $40,000 loss is $30,000. The insured absorbs the difference for carrying less than the form asks, with actual cash value available as the alternative measure.

Dwelling coverages are written separately, so an owner living elsewhere can buy dwelling coverage alone while a tenant buys personal property coverage alone; a homeowners policy packages the coverages and requires an amount on the dwelling. Contents are settled at actual cash value, not resale market value, and theft comes only by endorsement. Deductibles apply under either policy.

The dwelling forms are property forms with no liability section, so personal liability and medical payments to others must be endorsed onto the policy before a visitor's injury claim can be paid. Coverage E on a dwelling policy is additional living expense rather than liability, so raising it does nothing for this claim. Vandalism and extended coverage add property perils only.

A landlord's dwelling policy insures the landlord's building and the landlord's own personal property kept at the location, such as appliances and furnishings supplied with the house, while the tenant's belongings are the tenant's to insure. The contents limit on that policy belongs to the landlord. An insurer cannot create coverage by paying and then pursuing the tenant.
