Landlord Insurance

Because a standard homeowners policy is designed for an owner-occupied home and generally won't cover a property you rent to others or don't live in. Once tenants move in, your exposure changes — different liability, loss of rental income, and tenant-related risks that a homeowners policy isn't built for. Using a homeowners policy on a rental can leave you with a denied claim when you need it most. Landlord insurance is the right coverage for a rental property.

A landlord policy covers the rental dwelling and other structures against covered perils like fire, wind, and hail; provides landlord liability if someone is injured on the property and you're responsible; and can cover loss of rental income if a covered loss makes the property uninhabitable while it's repaired. It protects your interest as the owner — your tenants' personal belongings are covered by their own renters insurance, not your landlord policy.

Yes, and it's increasingly common in the Rim Country. Short-term and vacation rentals bring higher guest turnover and exposures that a standard landlord policy may not fully address, so they often need specific short-term-rental coverage. We'll match the policy to how you actually rent — whether that's a long-term lease, a seasonal cabin, or a busy vacation rental — so your coverage holds up at claim time.

It's a smart move, and many landlords do. Your landlord policy covers the building and your liability as the owner, but not your tenants' personal belongings — those are the tenant's responsibility. Requiring renters insurance protects your tenants, reduces disputes after a loss, and can even reduce your exposure. We can write affordable renters policies for your tenants too, keeping everything with one local agency.

It can, through loss-of-rents (or fair-rental-value) coverage, which replaces the rental income you lose when a covered loss makes the property uninhabitable while it's being repaired. For owners who count on that income for a mortgage or as part of their plan, it's an important protection. We'll size it to your actual rental income so a covered loss doesn't take both the property and the income at once.

Yes. As an independent agency we can place coverage on multiple properties, look for multi-policy savings, and give you one point of contact who knows your whole portfolio — whether it's a couple of long-term rentals or a mix of a primary home, a cabin, and vacation rentals. One renewal conversation and one agent beats juggling separate policies with separate companies.

It's a consideration we'll address rather than a dealbreaker. Properties that sit vacant for stretches have specific exposures — and standard policies sometimes limit coverage during vacancy — so it's important the policy is written knowing how the property is used. Tell us the seasonal pattern and any monitoring or caretaking in place, and we'll structure coverage that keeps the cabin protected year-round.
