There are buyers and there are renters.  Regardless of where you fall, all Miami Beach condos including ICON condo are susceptible to the effects of hurricane season which coincidentally is in full swing right now.  Depending on whether you own or rent, the responsibilities you have may vary slightly but it's important to remain on top of these important precautionary tips.

If you own an ICON condo unit, make sure you have access to hurricane shutters for your unit, especially if you have customary features like sliding glass doors and floor to ceiling windows.  This becomes even more important if you live on one of the upper floors of a building as winds are stronger the higher you are.  Renters usually have to take the do-it-yourself approach when it comes to hurricane preparedness, use the same precautions you would if you owned a home.

If you don't already have renters or condo insurance for your ICON South Beach condo, strongly consider buying as it could be a huge money saver even after hurricane season has come and gone.  On that note, also make sure that your condo association has adequate insurance.
