Landlord Insurance Miami, FL
If you’re renting out a residential property—be it a home or an apartment—it’s important to have insurance coverage to protect against natural disasters, accidents, vandalism, and other damages. Landlord insurance policies provide financial protection in the event that your rental property is damaged, becomes uninhabitable, or someone is injured on the property. As homeowners insurance does not typically cover rental properties, landlord insurance is the best way for landlords to protect themselves from significant financial damages.

What Does Landlord Insurance Cover?
A typical landlord insurance policy offers the following coverages:
- Property Damage: Landlord insurance typically covers property damage as a result of fires, natural disasters, electrical malfunctions, criminal activities, and damage caused by tenants. This includes additional structures like sheds and garages.
- Loss of Income: If your rental property becomes uninhabitable due to a covered event, landlord insurance may reimburse you for lost income due to not being able to rent out the property.
- Liability: Landlord insurance may also cover medical and legal expenses that arise if a tenant or visitor is injured on the property.
Each individual coverage typically has a separate limit and deductible, so be sure to speak with your insurance agent to understand your financial obligations.
