Protection built around the realities of renting out a property.

Landlord coverage starts with how the property is used—then considers tenants, maintenance, income exposure, and the risks around the premises.

BRING THE PROPERTY STORY, NOT JUST THE ADDRESS

Property type, age, updates, and current condition

Occupancy, lease pattern, and any expected vacancy

Safety features, maintenance history, and prior losses

Replacement needs begin with the structure, its condition, and the updates that shape repair costs.

Trips, falls, shared areas, and maintenance practices can change the liability conversation.

A covered loss may interrupt rent, so the review should separate income protection from property repair.

Occupancy patterns, lease terms, and time between tenants all matter when options are compared.

The best landlord conversation starts with a current picture of the property, how it is occupied, and what could interrupt rent.

Property address, type, construction year, and major updates

Current tenants, lease pattern, and expected vacancy dates

Safety systems, maintenance records, prior claims, and estimated rent

Does a tenant’s policy cover the building?

A tenant’s policy generally focuses on the tenant’s belongings and liability—not the owner’s building. Review the lease and each policy separately.

What happens during a vacancy?

A longer vacancy can change eligibility or coverage conditions. Tell the agency before the property is expected to be unoccupied.

Is lost rent always covered?

Not automatically, and not for every cause of loss. The triggering event, waiting period, and policy limit all need to be reviewed.
