Frequently asked questions
Although not required by state law, a standard renters insurance policy is the only way your tenants can protect their belongings, because your rental property insurance won’t cover their personal property. It can also protect a renter from having to pay out of pocket for other common incidents like water backup damage and certain natural disasters, which helps you protect your investment.
Rental insurance for an investment property will vary, but policies will generally cover the dwelling or structure of your property, contents of the property belonging to the landlord, liability coverage and loss of rental income. Much of its coverage is similar to that of homeowners insurance, though it has unique features that homeowners insurance lacks and which account for the added risk of having tenants on your property.
No. The best landlord insurance covers the property that is used to service the rental property, while renters insurance covers the property owned by the tenant.
There are two clear differences between rental property insurance and renters insurance. For landlords, rental property insurance protects the property owner against damages not caused by the tenant. Renters insurance covers the need to replace damaged items that belong to the tenant. If your tenant's apartment is damaged by natural causes or if your unit is burglarized, the tenant can claim reimbursement on the actual cash value of the items damaged or stolen.
Renters insurance is usually an inexpensive way to protect a tenant's personal belongings against things that are outside their control.
