If you own rental property, you have unique business risks and assets that aren’t covered by a homeowner’s insurance policy. And you stand to risk losing your livelihood if you lose your rental income while your building undergoes repairs after an unexpected loss from a fire, flood, earthquake or another type of natural disaster.
Most landlord insurance policies offer some form of the following types of coverage: dwelling coverage, water/flood coverage, personal property (contents), acts of nature, as well as fair rental income coverage. Other policy add-on options are available with some insurance companies for an additional premium. The coverage is provided for multiple types of rental units, including single-family, duplex, triplex, quad and larger properties.
