Landlord insurance quotes
What is landlord insurance?
Landlord insurance, sometimes referred to as investment property insurance or rental insurance, helps protect your rental properties in the case of a covered loss. In general, landlord insurance helps cover the structure(s) and property used for maintenance.
What does landlord insurance cover?
- Your property itself
- Damage or injury that occurs on your rental property
- Loss of rent
Is landlord insurance the same as home insurance?
No, landlord insurance and home insurance are different. Landlord insurance is specifically designed for the needs of someone who is renting a property long-term. In addition to protecting the “dwelling” (or structure) of a property, it also covers loss of rent, accidental damage caused by tenants, and other situations when the landlord may be held liable for damages or injury.
