Landlord Insurance: Protect Your Rental Property

What Does Landlord Insurance Cover?
A complete auto policy combines several coverage types. Mix and match based on your state requirements, budget, and how you use your vehicle.
Property Damage
Covers the rental property structure — building, roof, walls, and fixed appliances — against fire, storm damage, vandalism, and other covered perils.
Loss of Rental Income
Replaces your rental income when a covered loss makes the property temporarily uninhabitable — covering the rent you would have collected during repairs.
Liability Protection
Pays for legal defense and settlements if a tenant or visitor is injured on the property due to a condition you were responsible for maintaining.
Tenant Damage Coverage
Optional endorsement covering intentional or accidental damage caused by tenants that exceeds the security deposit — a significant risk for long-term landlords.
Legal Protection
Optional coverage that helps pay legal fees associated with tenant disputes, eviction proceedings, and rental contract enforcement.
Detached Structures
Covers garages, sheds, fences, and other structures on the rental property, typically at a percentage of the main dwelling coverage limit.
Why VKOVR for Landlord Insurance?
Homeowners Policies Do Not Cover Rentals
If you rent out a property covered by a standard homeowners policy, you may have no coverage at all. VKOVR ensures every rental property has the correct policy type in place.
Multi-Property Portfolio Coverage
Own multiple rentals? VKOVR works with carriers that offer portfolio policies for landlords with multiple properties, often at better rates than individual property policies.
Right-Sized Liability Limits
Slip-and-fall claims and tenant injury lawsuits can result in judgments well above basic liability limits. VKOVR recommends appropriate limits for your rental exposure.
Vacancy and Seasonal Rental Considerations
Vacant properties and short-term rentals carry different risk profiles than long-term occupied rentals. VKOVR identifies carriers and policy structures suited to your specific situation.
