Rental Property Insurance Information
Landlord insurance is a policy for someone who rents out a home they own. This type of insurance typically includes two different types of coverage: property and liability protection. Both coverages are intended to help protect you, the landlord, from financial losses.
If you are renting out a primary residence long-term or short-term, you will need specialized landlord insurance to protect yourself against accidents and claims. Renting your space out to other people can bring a lot of risk and Weatherly Insurance Agency is here to protect you against that risk. Our experienced agents will work with you to tailor a landlord insurance policy for reliable protection.
What Does Landlord Insurance Cover?
Landlord insurance covers three main areas:
-
Property Damage: Property damage covers the physical home, such as dwelling coverage under homeowners insurance. It can cover the physical structure of your home against fire, wind, hail, lightning, snow, vandalism and more. It may also cover your personal property that is left in the rented space, such as furniture or televisions.
-
Liability: Liability is crucial to protect yourself against lawsuits and compensate your renters for damages and injuries they may suffer. Liability insurance may cover medical bills for a renter or visitor injured on the rented property as well as legal expenses in case a lawsuit is filed against you.
-
Loss of Rental Income: Loss of rental income applies when your home is damaged by a covered event and can no longer be used as a rental property. For example, if a tornado destroys half of the rental property and renders it uninhabitable, loss of rental income can help supplement that lost rent.
You may also be interested in additional coverage endorsement and riders such as:
-
Non-Occupied Dwelling Endorsement: This insurance can cover you while the property is vacant for 30 days. Most policies do not cover a property while it is unoccupied, so this endorsement fills the gap while you don’t have a tenant.
-
Heating or Air Conditioning Loss Reimbursement: If there is a mechanical breakdown of your home’s heating or cooling system, this insurance can help reimburse you for repairs or replacements.
