HO-5 covers both your home (dwelling) AND your personal property on an open-perils basis. Standard HO-3 covers the dwelling open-perils but personal property only on a named-perils basis. Translation: under HO-5, if a loss happens and the cause is not specifically excluded, your contents are covered. Under HO-3, you have to prove the loss fits one of the named perils. Openly writes HO-5 by default. Most Georgia carriers write HO-3 and require an endorsement (or do not offer HO-5 at all) to upgrade.
