Secure Your Investment | Landlord Insurance for Your Rental Property
Real estate and rental property owners have unique risks. These risks require coverage that is often excluded in a standard homeowners policy. Landlord policies are also known as Fire Dwelling Insurance or Lessor's Risks. Landlord policies are designed specifically for the needs of property owners by providing specialized coverage tailored to rental property ownership.
Landlord policies typically offer coverage for the building, loss of income, personal property, liability coverage, and more. For added protection and higher limits of insurance, landlords may want to consider an umbrella policy. Having sufficient coverage for both the building and rental income is crucial so that income from rental properties continues even if they are damaged to where they cannot be rented.
