Insurance & Condo Law Reforms
To lower our property insurance costs, Representative Rizo supports embracing various policies, including:
- Creation of an Insurance Fraud Task Force to help root out corruption and fraudulent claims that drive up the cost of insurance.
- By lowering the cost of homes, we can lower the cost of homeowner’s insurance which can be accomplished by building more homes and lowering the costs of construction.
Cheaper houses = lower costs of insurance. - Require independent estimates of home damages after a hurricane or storm to ensure insurance companies are paying the true value of the cost to repair.
- Require Big Insurance companies and lawyers to review and respond to homeowner claims faster and more efficiently.
Supports revising the new state condominium law after the Surfside Condo collapse to safeguard condo owners’ excessive assessment fees so that they may keep their homes while ensuring safety.
