Landlord liability & dwelling insurance
Designed for rental property owners
A homeowners policy is written for the place you live. The moment tenants move in, the property is used differently — and a standard homeowners policy can limit or deny claims on a home you rent out. Landlord liability & dwelling insurance is built for rental property: it protects the building, your liability as the owner, and the rent itself.
If a tenant or guest is injured on your rental, you can be held responsible. Landlord liability helps cover legal defense and claims against you as the owner.
When a covered loss makes a unit unlivable, the policy can reimburse the rental income you'd lose during repairs — something a homeowners policy doesn't include.
Insurers cover a home based on how it's used. A policy written for a rental responds in situations an owner-occupied policy can't.
Your tenants' belongings are theirs to insure with renters insurance — landlord coverage focuses on the building and your exposure as the owner. Coverage descriptions are general; actual terms vary by policy, carrier, and state.
