What Is Rental Property Insurance?

Rental property insurance is important for both tenants and landlords, but it comes in different policies. Tenants need renters insurance to protect their valuables and belongings. Landlords need Rental Property Protection Plus insurance to protect their properties and what they own inside of them.  
 
For example, as a landlord, if your rental unit is damaged from a storm, rental property insurance can help cover the repair costs. Or if there’s a fire at your rental property and the damages result in a total loss, rental property insurance can help pay for the costs to rebuild the rental unit.
 

Homeowners Insurance for Rental Properties

Landlord Insurance Policy As a landlord, you want to make sure your properties are well-protected. That’s why we offer comprehensive landlord insurance. Our policies offer dwelling coverage to protect your rental unit and structures directly attached to it. This includes flooring, walls and the roof. Policies from us also provide fair rental value coverage. This helps cover the rental value for each portion of your property you rent out if it’s damaged in a covered loss like a fire.
 
Additional coverages you can add to your policy are:
 
  • Other structures coverage to help cover buildings on your property that aren’t attached to your house, such as garages or sheds.
  • Personal property coverage which helps cover your personal belongings inside your buildings like appliances and furniture provided in your units.
  • Medical payments coverage for help paying medical costs for any injury that occurs on your property.
  • Premises liability coverage to help cover you if someone who isn’t a resident gets injured on your property or if you’re found responsible for property damage.

Purchasing Landlord’s Insurance

Without landlord’s insurance, you may be financially responsible for repairs and legal costs if something happens at your rental units. However, you can buy our optional Rental Property Protection Plus policy in addition to your homeowners insurance. This ensures you’re protected if the unexpected happens.
 
For example, if there’s a fire at one of your properties and it causes significant damage, rental property insurance can help you pay for the repairs. Without it, you may have to pay the cost in full, completely out of pocket.
 
Homeowners Insurance for Property Rentals You may also end up responsible for legal fees if someone gets hurt at your rental unit and files a lawsuit. However, having rental property insurance will help you by defending the case in court and covering some of the costs if you’re ordered to pay a settlement, within your limits. You can also add premises liability coverage to your rental property insurance for even more protection.
 
As a landlord, you have so many responsibilities. At The Hartford, we’re here to help give you relief where we can. You’ll find peace of mind having our renters insurance, knowing that with Rental Property Protection Plus you have the coverage you need to keep your investments protected.
