If you rent out residential property, whether it be a house, apartment, or condominium, you should consider investing in landlord insurance. Landlord insurance provides protection from financial loss that results from damages to a rental property due to fire, storm, break-in, and more.
What does landlord insurance cover?
Depending on your insurance carrier, you landlord insurance can include:
- Property Damage
In the event of a storm, fire, tenant damage, or other damage to the property, your insurance company will cover the replacement or repair of property. - Liability Insurance
Liability coverage protects you against liability claims and lawsuits from tenants, their visitors, and trespassers if someone is injured or has their property damaged on your property. - Loss of Income
If your rental property becomes uninhabitable, loss of income coverage will compensate you for the lost rental income until your property is repaired. - Additional Coverage
There are other add-on options for landlord insurance, such as coverage for the furnishings and fixtures that you provide to your tenants. Ask your Yetter insurance agent about your options.
Why should I get landlord insurance?
Your rental property (or properties) are an investment and a source of income. If anything happens to your property, or you get caught up in an expensive legal battle, that investment could be more sunk cost than income.
