Prior to entering the insurance industry, I thought insurance covered any and all claims resulting from a loss. Boy was I wrong!
I was scanning the internet this morning and came across the blog linked below by Ryan Hanley of New York. The blog discusses wear and tear not being covered under your Homeowners Policy. I recommend you all take a look at this post as it provides helpful insight on what perils are covered and provides a great example of wear and tear on property.
