Landlord Insurance FAQ

Landlord Insurance is an insurance policy specifically designed to provide coverage for property owners who rent out their properties.
Landlord insurance covers property damage to rented properties caused by various perils, such as fire, theft, vandalism, and certain types of water damage.
It provides liability coverage for legal fees and medical expenses if someone is injured on the rental property.
However, it does not cover the loss or damage of the tenant's personal property.
Whether homeowner's insurance covers rental properties depends on the rental scenario:
• Frequent Short-Term Rentals: For setups like Airbnb or VRBO, where various guests stay for a short time, a commercial insurance policy is required.
• Infrequent Short-Term Rentals: If you occasionally rent out your primary residence for less than 30 days, you may be able to use your homeowner's policy with your insurer's approval.
• Long-Term Rentals: For typical long-term rentals, such as a 6-month or 1-year lease, a landlord insurance policy is necessary.
Landlord insurance and homeowner's insurance have key differences due to eligibility criteria. You generally cannot have both at the same time.
Landlord insurance provides coverage tailored to the higher risks associated with rental properties but offers less broad coverage than homeowner's insurance.
The basic levels of landlord insurance (DP-1 and DP-2 policies) cover less than the most common homeowner's insurance, while a DP-3 policy offers similar coverage to homeowner's insurance.
Yes, landlord insurance tends to cost about 25% more than homeowner's insurance for the same property.
The increased cost is mainly due to higher risks associated with tenant-occupied rental properties, which typically have more frequent and higher-value claims.
Landlord insurance typically does not cover:
• The tenant's personal property, which may require renters insurance.
• Damage caused by the property owner or intentional property damage.
• Repairs to major systems or appliances due to normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance.
• Damage from certain perils like earthquakes or floods, which may require separate coverage.
Please note that it is important to read the terms and conditions of your specific policy as coverage may vary between insurers.
