Before we get into information on how to get a landlord insurance quote, let’s learn a little bit about the policy.
Rental property can be a lot more than just a way to create extra income. It can be an investment for your families future. Since it is such a big investment, it’s always wise to safeguard against potential financial losses. The best way to do that is with a rental property insurance policy also known as a landlord insurance policy.
Rental property insurance will help to protect landlords who rent out single family residences, duplexes, apartment buildings, condos and rooms in their homes. Landlord insurance will protect you from financial losses that may be caused by a covered peril. It helps to cover the structure or dwelling of the home, the landlords property used to maintain the property, surrounding structures, loss of rental income and more.
What does rental property insurance cover?
Landlord insurance will help to cover the cost of repairs to your rental property. If the home is damaged or destroyed by a fire, wind, hail, lightening or another covered peril, rental property insurance will help to cover the costs. Landlord insurance will also cover you for liability issues that may arise. For example someone may become hurt or injured on your property and take you to court. Rental property insurance can help to cover any legal fees that may come from these claims.
The fair rental value coverage in your policy will provide coverage for rental income that is lost if your tenant is unable to use the home. Landlord insurance will help to supplement the amount of money your tenant was paying while the home is being repaired or rebuilt due to a covered peril.
The personal property coverage in your landlord insurance policy will help to cover your property that is used to maintain the home such as appliances, refrigerators, washers and dryers, dish washers and more.
