Rental Property & Airbnb Insurance

Renting out your home or a unit changes the risk. A standard home policy is not designed for rental activity by default, and short-term rentals in particular can create coverage gaps if they aren't disclosed and insured properly. We'll match the policy to how you actually rent the property, then keep it competitive year after year.

Core Coverages for Landlords and Hosts

Building & Structures

Building & Structures

The dwelling and anything attached, plus detached structures like sheds or garages. Limits should be set based on rebuild cost, not the real estate price.

Landlord Contents

Landlord Contents

Covers what you provide to tenants or guests, such as appliances, furnishings, and certain fixtures. Tenant belongings are not covered under your policy.

Liability

Liability

Liability covers injuries or damage you might be held responsible for. With tenants and guests coming and going, this is one of the most important parts of a rental policy.

When You Need Rental Coverage

01
Listing your property for short-term stays

Listing your property for short-term stays

Airbnb or similar platforms, occasional hosting, or frequent guest turnover.

02
Renting your home or cottage while you're away

Renting your home or cottage while you're away

Even if it's "just for a few weeks," the use has changed and should be insured properly.

03
Renting a room to a boarder, student, or long-term tenant

Renting a room to a boarder, student, or long-term tenant

Room rentals and student rentals have different underwriting expectations than owner-occupied use.

04
Renting a condo unit

Renting a condo unit

Condo rentals can require specific setup and documents. It's also smart to confirm if your condo board permits hosting.

Want to avoid coverage gaps?

We'll match the policy to how the property is actually used.

Send us the property address, how it's rented (long-term vs short-term), and a quick outline of what you provide (appliances, furnishings). If you have insurance requirements from a condo board, lender, or property manager, just forward them and we'll handle the rest.

Key Things to Know

01
Standard home insurance isn't built for rentals by default

Standard home insurance isn't built for rentals by default

Once you charge money for someone to stay in the property, insurers typically need it disclosed and rated correctly. We'll place coverage that recognizes the rental exposure so there are no surprises at claim time.

02
Rental income protection is not automatic

Rental income protection is not automatic

Some policies include rental income coverage, others require it as an endorsement. We'll make sure it's in place if the income matters to you.

03
Liability matters more with tenants and guests

Liability matters more with tenants and guests

More turnover means more third-party exposure. We'll recommend a liability limit that fits the property type, the rental style, and your overall risk profile.

Essential Add-Ons We Recommend Reviewing

Not every endorsement fits every rental, but these are the usual difference-makers. We'll recommend the right mix based on the building, location, and rental style.
