Rental Property Insurance

Landlord insurance provides essential coverage for rental properties, protecting against property damage, liability claims, and loss of rental income.

What is Landlord Insurance?

Landlord insurance, also known as rental property insurance, is specifically designed for property owners who rent out their properties. It offers coverage that standard homeowners insurance does not, addressing the unique risks associated with renting out a property.

Key Coverage Options

Property Damage

This includes coverage for the physical structure of the rental property against risks such as fire, storm damage, vandalism & malicious mischief, and water back up. It typically covers repairs to the building itself and may also include coverage for appliances and furnishings owned by the landlord.

Liability Protection

If a tenant or visitor is injured on the property and sues the landlord, liability coverage helps cover legal fees and any settlements or judgments against the landlord. This crucial protection shields your personal wealth from costly legal disputes and lawsuits.

Loss of Rental Income

If the property becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss (like a fire), this coverage can compensate the landlord for lost rental income during the repair period. This financial safety net protects your cash flow during extensive restoration and rebuilding.

Tenant Damage

Most landlord insurance policies cover accidental damage caused by tenants, although intentional damage may not be covered. This ensures your rental investment stays protected against unexpected repairs. Providing peace of mind for owners who value long-term security and stability.

Vacant Under Renovation

We provide specialized coverage for properties that are currently unoccupied while undergoing renovations or improvements. This protects your investment during the construction phase when standard policies may have exclusions.

Additional Structures

Coverage may extend to other structures on the property, such as detached garages, garden sheds, fences, or guest houses. This additional protection ensures that your entire real estate investment, including secondary buildings and exterior improvements, remains fully shielded from unexpected damage or loss while providing you with comprehensive peace of mind.

Wind Hail & Tornado Deductible

We offer customizable deductible options for wind, hail, and tornado damage, allowing you to manage your risk and premium costs effectively based on your property's location and needs.

Vandalism & Malicious Mischief

This coverage protects your rental property against intentional damage or destruction caused by others, providing an extra layer of security for your investment.

Water Back-up

This coverage protects your rental property from damage caused by water backing up through sewers or drains, or overflowing from a sump pump, even if caused by mechanical failure.
