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
