How Landlord Insurance Helps You To Protects Your
Property?
2
Greenhorn landlords who just started renting out
a residential property (house, apartment,
vacation cottage,) for the first time, may assume
that their homeowners insurance will cover all
the costs in the case of damaging events, natural
disaster, or an accident. That's a beginner
mistake!

There are more chances like your policy only
covers owner-occupied homes. Start renting out to
someone else where the coverage no longer
applies. Since renters are generally not held
accountable when a person suffers an injury on
the property (through no fault of the tenant),
large appliance malfunctions or burglars empty
the place, that means you wont get covered by
other misfortunes caused by humans or mother
nature.

Here comes the landlord Insurance, that provides
coverage in all shapes and sizes. Just you begin
with price-shopping, be sure what you need to
specifically mention address and protect against
in your rental property.

The Best Landlord Insurance policy will have
three core protections Property Damage
This type of insurance provides coverage in the
event that the real estate or furnishings suffer
from a natural disaster, earthquake, electric/gas
malfunction, fire, vandalism or irresponsible
residents. For this, you need to get a policy
that offers replacement value or replacement
cost, instead of the actual value (especially if
fixtures and furnishings are old) or a
predetermined lump sum of cash.

Lost Rental Income/Rental Default Insurance
Is there anything that makes your property
totally uninhabitable (termites, severe mold, a
sinkhole or a rat infestation), these factors
provide temporary rental compensation to cover
the rent money you would otherwise receive if
renters could be occupying the property.

Liability Protection
This insurance typically provides coverage for
the medical or legal costs that make sure if the
tenant or a visitor suffers injury due to a
property maintenance issue such as architectural
collapse, icy walkways, or an out-of-control hive
of bees.

Additional Coverage
Youll see some common provisions that come with
landlord insurance policies. They are not as
important as the key provisions mentioned above,
but they come along to save you money in the long
run.

Guaranteed Income Insurance
This covers the landlord if a resident comes up
for a short duration on the rent for a month (or
doesnt pay at all).

Flood Insurance
Since many landlord insurance policies dont
provide coverage for natural disasters like flood
damage or municipal plumbing, this coverage is
worth adding if the property is in an area
susceptible to flood.
