Rental property insurance, which is commonly referred to as landlords insurance, dwelling fire insurance or investment property insurance, is created to specifically protect rental property owners. The focus of landlord insurance is to protect you from the loss of income from your renters as a result of a fire at the property. Coverage depends on your specific policy, but it will generally cover you for up to a year’s worth of rental income. Having this replacement of income will allow you, as the landlord, not only the time, but also the resources to have your rental home rebuilt, repaired, and rented again in the future. A rental property insurance policy can also be created to provide liability coverage too.
