What Is Rental Property Insurance? 

Rental property insurance or landlord insurance includes a package of coverages that insures against financial losses. Policies may include: 

• Property insurance. This coverage may provide protection if the rental building itself (e.g., the apartment building) or other structures (e.g., fences) are damaged by a covered peril (e.g., fire or windstorms). 
• Personal property for maintenance coverage. If you use personal property (e.g., lawnmowers) to maintain the rental property and store it at that location, this coverage may pay repair or replacement costs if it is damaged or destroyed by a covered cause of loss.
• Liability insurance. This may provide liability coverage if you are held responsible for the injuries of others. It may help pay for their financial losses (e.g., medical bills) or your legal expenses (e.g., court costs and attorney fees).
• Loss of income insurance. If covered property damage results in a loss of rental income, this coverage may provide payments to help make up the lost payments. 

Other endorsements and coverages may be available, including vandalism coverage, equipment breakdown insurance and umbrella liability insurance. Additionally, it may be advisable for your tenants to carry renters insurance to receive personal property coverage for their belongings.
