The likely provider is Citizens Property Insurance Corporation due to the high risk associated with their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Manufactured and mobile homes are considered very high risk; they are prone to catastrophic damage when it comes to wind events like hurricanes and tornadoes,&#8221; Friedlander explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the challenges of securing insurance for mobile and manufactured homes, Friedlander said Florida&#8217;s insurance landscape has significantly improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The average rate increases we&#8217;re seeing for the standard market are running under 2% in Florida; nine companies have filed for rate decreases,&#8221; Friedlander noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He attributes this improvement to changes in legislation. These changes have bolstered the overall health of the insurance industry in the Sunshine State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We&#8217;ve had almost 10 straight years of underwriting losses. The insurance business is in its best financial position that it&#8217;s been in nearly a decade here in Florida,&#8221; Friedlander said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He reassures policyholders that they should feel confident in their coverage. This assurance is important, especially in the face of potential storms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;You can rest assured if you suffer a loss during hurricane season, your insurer will pay your claim if it&#8217;s covered under the provisions of your policy,&#8221; Friedlander said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The inevitability of storms in Florida is a well-known fact.
