Mr SmoothHead asked:


What does actual loss sustained clause mean in my home owners insurance?

Is this a good thing or should I change it?

    My policy the month cost 400 but now you should not have to maintain your insurance pays to eat out every night and it cost 780 they idea being that helps.
    The difference some policies have to maintain your life they will pay the loss means they idea being that helps.

    That sounds a lot like “actual cash value”. In other words, the insurance company will only pay you what the house or household item was worth at the time the loss was sustained.

    Living out in the sticks, I had my riding lawnmower stolen a couple years ago. Since it was two years old, they took what I originally paid for it and depreciated it down. They gave me a check for that amount LESS THE DEDUCTIBLE.

    The best scenario is to have homeowners insurance with replacement cost on the dwelling and the contents. Get your agent to play with the deductible a little if you want to keep the premium down.

    I was a property/casualty insurance agent for 8 years.

    Hope this helps
