including what information we gather, how we protect it, and how you can help ensure its accuracy. The Fair plan wants
you to know, and assures you, that the Fair plan does not sell your information to anyone.
In servicing the insurance policy we issue to you, such as settling an insurance claim you make, we may also collect
information from outside sources, such as property inspection companies and companies that collect data concerning
you or the property in which you and/or others have an interest. We may cause a property inspection to be made and/or
collect personal information from public records, consumer reporting agencies, appraisers, adjusters, insurers and other
third parties, who may gather information concerning your occupation, general reputation, character, habits and other
personal characteristics.

10. property of a "home-sharing occupant," or any person occupying the dwelling as a result of
any "home-sharing host activities."
11. property that is damaged by a "home-sharing occupant" or during the course of "home-
sharing host activities."
The following is added to Coverage D, Fair Rental Value after "We do not cover loss or expense
due to cancellation of a lease or agreement":
Fair Rental Value will be calculated as if the dwelling were occupied by a long term
tenant. You will not be reimbursed for any income lost because the dwelling is not available for
home-sharing host activities.
10. Vandalism or Malicious Mischief, meaning willful and malicious damage to, or destruction
of, the described property.
a. "Home-sharing host activities" means the rental or holding for rental of the dwelling or
any portion of the dwelling for less than 365 days, whether or not the property is rented or held
for rental through a home-sharing website.
b. "Home-sharing occupant" means a person, other than the insured, who has entered into
an agreement with an insured for the use of the dwelling or any portion of the dwelling for less
than 365 days, whether or not the property is rented or held for rental through a home-sharing
website.
Assembly Bill 2756 requires that all dwelling fire policies that include Dwelling Replacement Cost coverage
must include Ordinance or Law coverage at a limit of at least 10% of the Coverage A-Dwelling limit. Your
policy includes Ordinance or Law coverage in accordance with these requirements.
We are required by law to advise of any applicable limits of this coverage. Please see the following with
respect to this coverage:
We will pay for the increased costs you incur due to the enforcement against you of any ordinance
or law which requires or regulates construction, demolition, renovation or repair, but only as it
applies to that part of a covered building or other structure damaged by a Peril Insured Against. We
will not pay for any such costs incurred by you for work done on undamaged property.
Ordinance or law coverage is provided only if the damaged covered building or other structure for
which claim is made satisfied all applicable building code requirements in effect when it was built,
last repaired or last remodeled before such damage occurred.
We shall not be liable for more than the limit of liability shown in the Declarations for this coverage.
We do not cover:
(1) any loss in value to any covered building or other structure due to the requirements of any
ordinance or law: or
(2) due to enforcement against you, in actual repair of damage to covered property caused by a
Peril Insured Against, the costs to comply with any ordinance or law which requires you or
others to test for, monitor, clean up, remove, contain, treat, detoxify or neutralize, or in any
way respond to, or assess the effects of, pollutants from, in or on any covered building or
other structure.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will pay the costs to comply with any ordinance or law which
requires you or others to test for, monitor, clean up, remove, contain, treat. Detoxify or neutralize,
or in any way respond to, or assess the effects of asbestos or lead only. We shall pay only the costs
actually incurred by you, due to enforcement against you, in actual repair of damage to covered
property caused by a Peril Insured Against. We will not pay for any such costs incurred by you for
work done to portions of the property which did not incur direct physical damage from the covered
peril. Coverage for remediation of lead and/or asbestos shall be limited to the aggregate amount of
$10,000 or the amount actually incurred, whichever is less.
Please contact your broker if you have any questions about your coverage options. If you do not have a broker,
you may search for one on the FAIR Plan website at www.cfpnet.com.
This disclosure is required by Section 10102 of the California Insurance Code. This form provides general information
related to residential property insurance and is not part of your residential property insurance policy. Only the specific
provisions of your policy will determine whether a particular loss is covered and the amount payable. The information
provided does not preempt existing California law.
You have purchased the coverage(s) checked below. NOTE: Actual Cash Value Coverage is the most
limited level of coverage listed. Guaranteed Replacement Cost is the broadest level of coverage.
1. ACTUAL CASH VALUE COVERAGE pays the costs to repair the damaged dwelling minus a deduction
for physical depreciation. If the dwelling is completely destroyed, this coverage pays the fair market value of the
dwelling at time of loss. In either case, coverage only pays for costs up to the limits specified in your policy.
2. REPLACEMENT COST COVERAGE is intended to provide for the cost to repair or replace the damaged
or destroyed dwelling, without a deduction for physical depreciation. Many policies pay only the dwelling's actual
cash value until the insured has actually begun or completed repairs or reconstruction on the dwelling. Coverage
only pays for replacement costs up to the limits specified in your policy.
3. BUILDING CODE UPGRADE COVERAGE, also called Ordinance or Law coverage, is an important
option that covers additional costs to repair or replace a dwelling to comply with the building codes and zoning
laws in effect at the time of loss or rebuilding. These costs may otherwise be excluded by your policy. Meeting
current building code requirements can add significant costs to rebuilding your home. Refer to your policy or
endorsement for the specific coverage provided and coverage limits that apply.
The following are coverage options NOT AVAILABLE from the California FAIR Plan
NA 4. EXTENDED REPLACEMENT COST COVERAGE is intended to provide for the cost to repair or replace
the damaged or destroyed dwelling without a deduction for physical depreciation. Many policies pay only the
dwelling's actual cash value until the insured has actually begun or completed repairs or reconstruction on the
dwelling. Extended Replacement Cost provides additional coverage above the dwelling limits up to a stated
percentage or specific dollar amount. See your policy for the additional coverage that applies.
NA 5. GUARANTEED REPLACEMENT COST COVERAGE covers the full cost to repair or replace the damaged
or destroyed dwelling for a covered peril regardless of the dwelling limits shown on the policy declarations page.
READ YOUR POLICY AND POLICY DECLARATIONS PAGE CAREFULLY The policy declarations page shows
the specific coverage limits you have purchased for your dwelling, personal property, separate structures such
as detached garages, and additional living expenses. The actual policy and endorsements provide the details
on extensions of coverage, limitations of coverage, and coverage conditions and exclusions. The amount of any
claim payment made to you will be reduced by any applicable deductibles shown on your policy declarations
page. It is important to take the time to consider whether the limits and limitations of your policy meet your
needs. Contact your agent, broker, or insurance company if you have questions about what is covered or if you
want to discuss your coverage options.
AVOID BEING UNDERINSURED Insuring your home for less than its replacement cost may result in your having
to pay thousands of dollars out of your own pocket to rebuild your home if it is completely destroyed. Contact
your agent, broker, or insurance company immediately if you believe your policy limits may be inadequate.
THE RESIDENTIAL DWELLING COVERAGE LIMIT The coverage limit on the dwelling structure should be high
enough so you can rebuild your home if it is completely destroyed.
PLEASE NOTE:
The cost to rebuild your home is almost always different from the market value.
Dwelling coverage limits do not cover the value of your land.
The estimate to rebuild your home should be based on construction costs in your area and should be
adjusted to account for the features of your home. These features include but are not limited to the square
footage, type of foundation, number of stories, and the quality of the materials used for items such as
flooring, countertops, windows, cabinetry, lighting and plumbing.
The cost to rebuild your home should be adjusted each year to account for inflation.
Coverage limits for contents, separate structures, additional living expenses and debris removal are usually
based on a percentage of the limit for the dwelling. If your dwelling limit is too low, these coverage limits
may also be too low.
You are encouraged to obtain a current estimate of the cost to rebuild your home from your insurance agent,
broker, or insurance company or an independent appraisal from a local contractor, architect, or real estate
appraiser. If you do obtain an estimate of replacement value, and wish to change your policy limits, contact
your insurance company. While not a guarantee, a current estimate can help protect you against being underinsured.
DEMAND SURGE After a widespread disaster, the cost of construction can increase dramatically as a result
of the unusually high demand for contractors, building supplies and construction labor. This effect is known as
demand surge. Demand surge can increase the cost of rebuilding your home. Consider increasing your coverage
limits or purchasing Extended Replacement Cost coverage to prepare for this possibility.
CHANGES TO PROPERTY Changes to your property may increase its replacement cost. These changes may
include the building of additions, customizing your kitchen or bathrooms, or otherwise remodeling your home.
Failure to advise your insurance company of any significant changes to your property may result in your home
being underinsured.
WILDFIRE MITIGATION CREDITS Properties located in a designated Firewise® Community qualify for a
discounted wildfire premium. Please contact your broker for more information.
EXCLUSIONS Not all causes of damage are covered by common homeowners or residential fire policies. You
need to read your policy to see what causes of loss or perils are not covered. Coverage for landslide is typically
excluded. Some excluded perils such as earthquake or flood can be purchased as an endorsement to your policy
or as a separate policy. Contact your agent, broker, or insurance company if you have a concern about any of the
CONTENTS (PERSONAL PROPERTY) COVERAGE DISCLOSURE This disclosure form does not explain the
types of contents coverage provided by your policy for items such as your furniture or clothing. Contents may be
covered on either an actual cash value or replacement cost basis depending on the contract. Almost all policies
include specific dollar limitations on certain property that is particularly valuable, such as jewelry, art, or
silverware. Contact your agent, broker or insurance company if you have any questions about your contents
coverage. You should create a list of all personal property in and around your home. Pictures and video recordings
also help you document your property. The list, photos, and video should be stored away from your home.
CONSUMER ASSISTANCE If you have any concerns or questions, contact your agent, broker, or insurance
company. You are also encouraged to contact the California Department of Insurance consumer information line
at (800) 927-HELP (4357) or at www.insurance.ca.gov for free insurance assistance. This website includes a
