If a loss by a covered peril occurs to a rental property and it cannot be rented, we cover the rent lost by the insured (minus any expenses that do not continue) for the shortest time required to repair or replace the property
An amount which a policyholder agrees to pay, per claim or per accident, toward the total amount of an insured loss. In other words, the dollar amount the insured is responsible for paying before the insurance kicks in
An event that results in an insured loss. In some lines of business, such as liability, an occurrence is distinguished from accident in that the loss doesn't have to be sudden and fortuitous and can result from continuous or repeated exposure, resulting in bodily injury or property damage (neither expected nor intended by the insured)
The reasonable cost incurred by the insured for necessary measures taken solely to protect against further damage. If the measures taken involve repair to damaged property, we will pay for those measures only if the repaired property is covered under the policy and the damage is caused by a covered peril
Compensation to the victim of a loss, in whole or in part, by payment, repair or replacement
Type of insurance policy that provides coverage for a limited number of named perils
Type of insurance policy that provides coverage for the same perils covered in the basic form, in addition to other specified perils
Type of insurance policy that provides coverage for all perils unless they are specifically excluded in the policy. This is also referred to as a “comprehensive” or “all risk” type of policy
Insurance under which the amount payable is the current replacement cost of the property new, reduced by any allowance for depreciation, wear-and-tear and economic obsolescence. Replacement cost minus depreciation
The dollar amount needed to replace damaged property without deducting for depreciation. Property will be replaced with materials of like kind and quality. The payout will not exceed the dollar amount shown on the declaration page of the policy
The maximum dollar amount paid at the time of a loss is the amount listed on the declaration page, even if the loss amount is larger than what is listed. The dollar amount is typically set by the insured
Insurance under which the amount payable is determined prior to a loss. The value must be agreed upon by the insurer and insured. In the event of a total loss, the insured would receive the entire agreed value of his/her property
The amount a prudent buyer would pay for the dwelling , excluding land value, in a fair market
The discontinuance of an insurance policy before its normal expiration date, either by the insured or the company
The termination or discontinuance of an insurance policy due to non-payment of premium
A policy terminated for non-payment of premium
A length of time after a premium payment is due and unpaid during which the policy remains in-force. If premium is paid during the grace period the premium is considered to have been paid on time
The resumption of coverage under a policy that has lapsed or cancelled
The amount of the premium that has been paid for in advance that has been “earned” by virtue of the fact that time has passed without a claim
The portion of the premium that an insurer has collected, but has yet to earn due to the unexpired time of the policy period
Who lives in the home (and usage of the home). Owner, rental (landlord), seasonal and vacant are all examples of occupancies
Occupied for at least five consecutive months by the named insured. This also applies to “snowbirds” who occupy their home seasonally but on an extended basis. These risks may not be rented to others (in exchange for money) for any length of time
The whole of one’s possessions, especially all the property and debts left by one at death. When the property owner is deceased, the insurance policy may be written in the name of the owner’s estate. Once the estate is settled, a new application must be submitted for the heir and the policy in the name of the estate must be cancelled
Homes that are rented to others. Coverage is provided for the dwelling and adjacent structures. Personal property coverage is typically an added endorsement, providing coverage for the homeowner’s personal property—not the tenant’s property

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a crossword?

Crossword puzzles have been published in newspapers and other publications since 1873. They consist of a grid of squares where the player aims to write words both horizontally and vertically.

Next to the crossword will be a series of questions or clues, which relate to the various rows or lines of boxes in the crossword. The player reads the question or clue, and tries to find a word that answers the question in the same amount of letters as there are boxes in the related crossword row or line.

Some of the words will share letters, so will need to match up with each other. The words can vary in length and complexity, as can the clues.

Who is a crossword suitable for?

The fantastic thing about crosswords is, they are completely flexible for whatever age or reading level you need. You can use many words to create a complex crossword for adults, or just a couple of words for younger children.

Crosswords can use any word you like, big or small, so there are literally countless combinations that you can create for templates. It is easy to customise the template to the age or learning level of your students.
