Still have questions? These helpful answers might make things clearer.

What is rental property insurance, and why do I need it?

Rental property insurance—often called landlord insurance—helps protect property owners from financial losses related to property damage, liability claims, and lost rental income. If you rent out a home, standard homeowners insurance usually isn’t enough. This coverage is designed specifically to protect your investment when tenants are involved.

 

How is rental property insurance different from homeowners insurance?

Homeowners insurance is meant for homes you live in yourself. Rental property insurance is built for properties occupied by tenants and typically includes landlord-specific protections, such as liability coverage for tenant-related incidents and coverage for lost rental income after a covered claim.

 

What if I own more than one rental property?

Great question—and yes, we can help with that. Whether you own one rental or an entire portfolio, we work with carriers that can insure multiple properties efficiently. This often means simpler management, consistent coverage, and potential cost savings, all under one coordinated strategy.

 

What does rental property insurance typically cover?

A standard rental property policy can include:

  • Dwelling coverage – Helps repair or rebuild the structure after covered events like fire, storms, or vandalism

  • Liability coverage – Protects you if a tenant or guest is injured on the property

  • Loss of rental income – Helps replace lost rent if the property becomes unlivable due to a covered claim

  • Landlord-owned property coverage – Covers items like appliances, fixtures, or maintenance equipment you provide

Coverage can be customized based on how your property is used.

 

Do you insure short-term or vacation rentals?

Yes. We work with carriers that offer coverage specifically designed for short-term and vacation rentals, including properties listed on platforms like Airbnb or VRBO. We’ll help make sure your policy matches how often the property is rented and how it’s used.

 

What happens if my rental property is vacant?

Vacancy matters. Most rental property policies only provide full coverage when a property is actively rented or vacant for a short period, usually 30–60 days. If your property will be vacant longer, vacant property insurance may be required. We’ll help you adjust coverage so there are no gaps while the property is unoccupied.

 

Rental Property Insurance Coverage Options

Elite Risk Advisors offers flexible coverage options designed to protect landlords, rental properties, and rental income.

Landlord Insurance

Designed specifically for rental property owners, landlord insurance helps protect against property damage, liability claims, and loss of rental income when covered events occur.

Loss of Rental Income / Fair Rental Value

If a covered loss makes your rental property unlivable, this coverage helps reimburse lost rent while repairs are being made, so your income doesn’t stop when your property can’t be occupied.

Liability Coverage

Provides protection if a tenant or visitor is injured on your property and you are held legally responsible. This coverage can help pay for medical expenses, legal defense costs, and settlements.

Dwelling Coverage

Covers the physical structure of your rental property, including repairs or rebuilding after covered events such as fire, storms, vandalism, or other insured risks.

Tenant-Caused Damage

Some policies may offer coverage for accidental damage caused by tenants. Intentional damage, neglect, or normal wear and tear are typically excluded. We’ll help you understand exactly what is and isn’t covered.

Vacancy Coverage / Vacancy Clause

Most landlord policies limit or reduce coverage if a property is vacant for an extended period—typically 30 to 60 days. If your rental will be unoccupied longer, additional vacancy coverage may be needed to avoid gaps.

Named Perils vs. All-Risk Coverage

  • Named Perils policies cover only the specific risks listed in the policy.

  • All-Risk (Open Perils) policies cover all causes of loss unless specifically excluded.

We’ll help you choose the option that best fits your risk tolerance and budget.

Replacement Cost vs. Actual Cash Value (ACV)

  • Replacement Cost coverage pays to repair or replace damaged property with new materials of similar kind and quality.

  • Actual Cash Value (ACV) factors in depreciation, which can reduce claim payouts.

Rent Guarantee Insurance (Availability Varies)

In some cases, rent guarantee coverage may help protect against unpaid rent due to tenant default or eviction, depending on carrier eligibility and underwriting requirements.
