RESIDENTIAL CONTENTS SURVEY
INVENTORY INSTRUCTIONS:
Most pages of this questionnaire are designed for you to do a thorough inventory of the contents of your home. Contents are items within your home or garage which are not permanently attached to the building.
The simplest way for you to complete this inventory is to walk through the room to which each page applies. For each type of item listed on a page:
1 |
AND EITHER |
2 |
OR |
3 |
||
Indicate how many pieces of each item there are in the room(s) to which the page applies.
|
Indicate the total current cash value for each item. Current cash value is the current cost of replacing an item, minus whatever value the item has lost from deterioration.
|
|
Indicate total replacement costs, if you were to purchase the item now. |
Indicate the approximate average age of each item. |
||
|
The information you provide does not have to be absolutely precise. If in doubt, make your best guess. Be sure to fill out each page which lists items found in your house. Most types of items will be listed on only one page. If an item you own is listed on a room page different from the room where the item is found in your house, put the value and age for the item on that page.
After you complete the inventory sheets, please answer the final background questions and mail back our questionnaire. DON'T FORGET TO TEAR OUT THE YELLOW COPIES TO KEEP WITH YOUR INSURANCE RECORDS.
Your participation in this
survey is voluntary and you may refuse to give any or all of the
requested information.
