The asset class decides the program

Two buildings of identical value can produce entirely different insurance programs. What separates them is not the number on the schedule — it is occupancy, construction, tenancy, and who is legally responsible for what.

A garden-style apartment complex generates continuous resident interaction, statutory habitability duties under Chapter 92 of the Texas Property Code, and water damage as the dominant frequency loss. A single-tenant office building generates almost none of that, but concentrates business income exposure in one lease. A mixed-use property does both at once and often triggers underwriting questions neither pure class would raise.

This cluster addresses what changes by asset class. It does not repeat the coverage explanations that live in the coverage cluster or the contractual mechanics in risk management.
