Discussion about
I understand the two things are different. I own an apartment in a co-op, and my co-op requires Additional Interest. I requested that from my insurance company (State Farm), but my insurance company made my co-op Additional Insured. After reminding my agent that I wanted Additional Interest instead of Additional Insured, she says that they're the same thing. I still don't think so. Is there any disadvantage to me, the shareholder, to retain this Additional Insured instead of insisting on Additional Interest? I don't want to waste my time pushing this insurance agent around if there's no benefit to it.
As far as I know, the Additional Interest is for notification. The Additional Insured makes them party for the insurance policy and the Additional Interest means they have to be notified of any changes (like cancellation).
That's my understanding as well. Every website I've checked agrees with us, which is why I think the agent is wrong. But I don't see how I win or lose under her mistake.
