If you own a chalet, you obviously want to properly insure it against damage. That's why you can take out building insurance for your chalet. With building insurance your chalet is insured in case of damage, such as fire or storm. This ensures that you can quickly enjoy your chalet again.
Business or private insurance for your chalet
When you purchase homeowners insurance, you specify the type of property. For example, you can choose from recreational home, mobile home or chalet. In some cases, you need to take out business buildings insurance for your chalet. This is required, for example, if your chalet was purchased within a limited liability company, or if you rent out your chalet for more than 300 days per year. The number of days may vary from one insurer to another. In most cases, however, you can insure your chalet privately, even if you rent out your chalet (occasionally). If you rent out the chalet, a number of conditions do apply to private home insurance. You are then only insured if you meet these conditions. The conditions can differ from one insurer to another. Therefore always check the policy conditions of your insurance to see which conditions you have to meet and which exclusions apply. Some insurers have a separate coverage for private rental that you can take out.
