Rental Property Insurance in Indianapolis IN, Fargo ND, & Denver CO

When you are renting out your property, you can make a good amount of money—but you also face a lot of risks when it comes to disasters and financial loss. Letting someone else live on property that you own can lead to issues you may not have seen coming. Thankfully, there is insurance available to cover you. 

At Reliant Insurance Group, we use our sources of top insurance providers to find and tailor a policy for your needs so that you can rent out property without worry. Renters have insurance options, so why shouldn’t you? 

What Does Rental Property Insurance Cover? 

Rental property insurance is also known as landlord insurance and is designed to cover the unique risks the property you rent out may face from tenants and other outside sources. A typical rental property insurance policy may include: 

Dwelling Coverage 

Contrary to what many renters think, a renters insurance policy does not cover the physical home or structure that is being rented out. Instead, whatever structure you are renting out (whether it be a home or an apartment) should be covered under rental property insurance. This covers the walls, roof and attached structures of the dwelling in case of damage or destruction due to fire, wind, lightning, hail, vandalism and more. 

Landlord Personal Belongings 

You are not responsible for insuring your renters’ personal belongings, but you should protect your own. Where renters insurance covers the renters’ personal items, landlord personal property coverage covers personal items you may leave on the insured property from fire, wind, hail, theft, vandalism and more. 

Liability Coverage 

As a landlord, you face a lot of liability risks, especially when it comes to visitor injuries on your property. If someone is injured on your rental property, you may be faced with a lawsuit. Liability insurance can cover the damages and injuries, as well as compensate you for legal fees in case of a claim. 

Loss of Rent Coverage 

Say a tornado sweeps through and damages over half of your apartments. Those apartments are now uninhabitable, meaning you will not be able to receive rent. Loss of rent coverage compensates you for a certain amount of time after a disaster renders the rental property uninhabitable.
