Landlord Insurance 101: The Basics

Picture
​If you own a residential property and plan to rent it out, it’s a smart move to acquire landlord insurance. Not only does it give you coverage, but it also helps keep your finances safe and secured at unprecedented times.
What You Need To Know About Landlord Insurance
Although homeowner’s insurance is beneficial, it wouldn’t cover your property if you rent it out. Additionally, renters are not held liable in cases of damage, injury, or other misfortunes. Landlord insurance helps minimize your costs resulting from these misfortunes and protects you from liabilities that may arise. 

Although insurance providers offer varying policies, comprehensive landlord insurance provides three essential coverages.
  • Property Damage
    This covers the property in cases of destruction or malfunction resulting from natural disasters or irresponsible tenants. Some policies also offer to pay replacement costs for added protection.
  • Lost Rental Income
    Also called rental default insurance, this coverage gives policyholders temporary rental reimbursement for unoccupied properties. However, this might only apply to cases where the property is uninhabitable due to situations like rat infestations and sinkholes. 
  • Liability Protection
    Just like other insurance policies, landlord insurance also has liability coverage. This protects policyholders from medical and legal expenses that may arise due to situations like a third-party injury. 

Additional Coverage
Although some may not be needed, riders are beneficial for additional protection. Aside from the three essential coverages, landlord insurance also has other coverages that can save bucks in the long run.
  • Guaranteed income insurance covers the landlord’s income if a tenant can’t or doesn’t pay rent.
  • Flood insurance protects against flood-related damages.
  • Emergency coverage helps cover costs arising from costs, such as repairs.
  • Additional construction expenses coverage covers costs the landlord incurs when building property up to code after damages.

How Much Is Landlord Insurance?
Generally, landlord insurance is 15% more expensive than homeowner’s insurance. Additionally, it’s commonly known that premiums’ price goes up when properties are used for short-term rental purposes. This is because short-term tenants are less likely to complain or request repairs. 
Since rental properties are more prone to damage and incidents, it’s best to acquire landlord insurance for security. 

Conclusion
Although more expensive, landlord insurance is beneficial if you decide to rent your property out. Aside from protection against liability, landlord insurance also provides financial security in cases of misfortunes or irresponsible tenants.
