Older homes may contain lead-based paint.

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

Lead was used as a pigment and drying agent in “alkyd” oil based paint. “Latex” water-based paints generally have not contained lead. About two thirds of the homes built before 1940 and one half of the homes built from 1940 to 1960 contain heavily leaded paint. Some homes built after 1960 also contain heavily leaded paint. It may be on any interior or exterior surface, particularly on woodwork, doors, and windows. In 1978, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission lowered the legal maximum lead content in most kinds of paint to 0.06% (a trace amount). Consider having the paint in homes constructed before the 1980s tested for lead before renovating or if the paint or underlying surface is deteriorating. This is particularly important if infants, children, or pregnant women are present.

Personal Property Insurance Benefits

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

Protect your assets with renters insurance
This may come as a surprise to you, but did you know your landlord’s insurance does not cover your personal property? Your clothes, jewelry, stereos, televisions, bicycles, computers, furniture, art work and other valuable possessions are not protected against loss or destruction. Fact is, apartment renters need special renters insurance for their belongings.
Renters insurance protects your personal property at home and away from home against the following hazards: fire, smoke or lightning, burglary or vandalism, riot or civil commotion, explosion or electrical surge damage, windstorm or hail, falling objects, and other hazards detailed in policy. Your personal property can be protected with replacement cost coverage. This additional protection assures that if a loss occurs, you will receive reimbursement for the full cost to repair or replace your property at today’s market cost, up to the policy limit. Renters insurance also covers you within your policy limits if someone slips and falls in your dwelling or is injured by any of your possessions and then sues. The insurance should cover your responsibility to other people injured at your home or elsewhere, and includes legal defense costs if you are taken to court within the policy limits.
Rates and coverage vary form state to state and company to company. Shop around and compare coverage and rates from different companies.
