Landlord's Insurance

Landlord's Insurance

I own several rental properties, and I was hoping to get advice on landlord insurance to secure me should one of my tenants sue me.

How much insurance should I carry, and any recommendations on where to purchase this insurance.

There are a bunch of types

There are a bunch of types of landlords insurance. The policy is not very cheap, so I recommend you to consult with insurance agent. I’m sure they will provide you with the best advice. And remember you don’t have to insure your tenants’ possessions - that is their responsibility. However, I strongly recommend to require your tenants to buy renters insurance. The top benefit of requiring tenants to purchase renters insurance involves keeping you out of court. When damage occurs to a renters belongings, and if the tenant does not have rental insurance, there’s a high probability the tenant will try to claim some type of landlord responsibility.
