Property Insurance - C12 - Chapter 9
What is the difference between personal and commercial property insurance
forms in the risk they encompass? - CORRECT ANSWER-Personal property
insurance encompasses policies for the buildings, contents, and related
exposures of private property owners.
Commercial property insurance encompasses policies for property and related
exposures of business owners operating manufacturing, mercantile, and
contracting operations.
How is personal property insurance more of a commodity than commercial
property insurance? - CORRECT ANSWER-It is underwritten by broad rules of
eligibility. Since personal property insurance's risks are dwellings, the terms,
rating and premiums are easier to set. There are not that many variations, it is
rather homogeneous. Variations from the set standards are relatively few.
However commercial operations and building construction types are so different
from one to the other that commercial property insurance can be more difficult
and labour intensive for the insurer and requires a more custom approach to
assessment, rating and policy issuance for each risk.
What is the difference between personal and commercial property insurance
forms in the language used in wordings? - CORRECT ANSWER-Habitational
policies : Are written in plain language. The language used for the policies and
their riders or endorsements is less formal and thus clearer. Even the size of the
font and the length of the lines of text aid in the readability and to ease the
public's suspicion of fine print in insurance policies.
Commercial policies: Were traditionnally written in formal legal language, but has
been written in plan language in recent years
What kind of business does the personal property insurance agree to cover? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Personal line property does not contemplate business
activity. The policy wordings must clearly not apply to business risks. It excludes

buildings and structures used for business or farming as a commercial policy is
more appropriate for this type of exposure.
However, the insurer might allow small, non-hazardous activities (with or without
extra premium) to be covered by endorsement.
What is the difference between personal and commercial property insurance
forms in the wordings themselves? - CORRECT ANSWER-The Commercial
wordings are generally more modular, with separate forms for each type of
insurance. They group all their provisions together.
Habitational will include coverage for property, crime, and liability all in one form.
Collects in one group the provisions that apply only to dwelling building and, in
another group, provisions that apply only to dwelling contents.
How do the agreements differ between the insurer and insured in personal and
commercial property insurance forms? - CORRECT ANSWER-Personal property
forms are simpler than commercial property forms. The wordings do not refer to
direct loss, indemnity calculations, or insured perils. The insurer provides the
insurance described in the policy in return for payment of the premium and
subject to the specified terms.
How do the terms defined differ between personal and commercial property
insurance forms? - CORRECT ANSWER-Personal property forms: Terms are
defined at the beginning of the policy and may not even be shown in quotation
marks throughout the text. However, recently it is more common to be in
quotation marks.
Commercial property forms: Terms are defined at the end of the policy and
shown in quotation marks wherever they are used in their defined sense earlier in
the form.
How are exposures treated differently between personal and commercial
property insurance? - CORRECT ANSWER-Vacancy exclusion:
Homeowner forms: excludes loss or damage only when the insurered knows the
property has been vacant for more than 30 days. There is no exclusion for
unoccupancy as people leave their houses for short periods of time.
