Why Landlords Need Business Insurance
Being a landlord can be a great way to earn income and build equity. However, it’s important to protect yourself from the risks involved. One of the most important things you can do is get business insurance.
Why Landlords Need Business Insurance
There are many reasons why landlords need business insurance. Here are a few of the most common:
- Liability protection: If a tenant is injured on your property, they could sue you. Business insurance can help pay for their medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- Property damage: If a tenant damages your property, business insurance can help pay for repairs.
- Income loss: If your property becomes uninhabitable due to a fire or other disaster, business insurance can help pay for your lost rent.
- Employee theft: If an employee steals from you, business insurance can help you recover your losses.
- Endorsements: You may also need endorsements to your business insurance policy to cover specific risks, such as:
- Renters insurance for your tenants
- Flood insurance if your property is in a floodplain
- Cyber liability insurance if you collect rent online
