What You Need to Know
If you own a four-family unit or smaller and you occupy at least one of those units, you will need a homeowners policy. A homeowners policy will help you to reduce costs, save money and provide higher personal property limits. To find out more information on homeowners insurance please visit our homeowners policy page or give us a call at 973-635-9494.
If you own a four-family unit or smaller and you do not occupy any of the units, you will need an income property (landlords) policy. This is because a standard homeowners policy will not provide the proper coverage for all of the factors that you need to protect as a landlord. Landlords insurance is specially designed for property that is rented in order to earn revenue. It can protect landlord contents, as well as, provide landlords with liability coverage. Here are a few things you should consider when thinking about rental property insurance:
- Typically, an income property policy is more expensive than a homeowners policy. This is because the property is occupied by non-owners, creating a higher risk factor.
- Your rental property can put you at risk of a lawsuit. You need to consider what kind of protection you have against liability claims. This can include liability and excess liability coverage.
- What happens if there is damage to your rental property? How much would it cost to rebuild and repair your property?
- Are your tenants covered? At John Hawk agency we urge our landlords to require tenants to acquire a renters or tenants insurance policy. This requirement should even be included in the lease agreement.
