Existing law prohibits issuing a residential property insurance policy unless the named insured is provided with a copy of the California Residential Property Insurance Disclosure, which sets forth a description of types of coverage, including actual cash value coverage, guaranteed replacement cost coverage, and other types of coverage, as specified. Existing law also provides for a California Residential Property Insurance Bill of Rights that describes certain information that a customer is entitled to receive from the insurer, including a copy of the insurance policy, an explanation of how the policy limits were established, and specified information in the event that a claim is filed. Existing law requires every California Residential Property Insurance Disclosure to be accompanied by a copy of the California Residential Property Insurance Bill of Rights. Existing law excepts from these requirements, a tenant's policy, a policy covering individually owned mobilehomes and their contents, a renter's policy, or a policy insuring individually owned condominium units, when those policies do not provide dwelling structure coverage.
