Does Home Insurance Cover Warranty Issues That May Arise In My New Empire Communities Home or Condo?

In Ontario Tarion provides warranty protection for new homes and condos. This protection will apply to your new Empire Communities home or Empire Communities condo. Tarion makes sure that home builders comply with the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan Act which details protections builders of condos and homes must provide to purchasers of their new homes.

Home insurance differs from the Tarion warranty in numerous ways. Home insurance provides coverage for perils such as fire, theft or other losses as well as personal liability in case a third party is injured while on your property. These are not covered by Tarion.
