Liability coverage

Cover accidental damage to property not owned by you or unintentional injury to anyone in your rental property.

Add on to your protection

  • Water, septic or sewer backups
  • Storm surges
  • Waves from a storm or hurricane
  • Flooding from any body of water

Our base rental property insurance policy package includes basic water damage protection, for damage from say a leaking pipe. We offer additional comprehensive water damage protection to cover damage from things like sewer back-up, flooding, and more. Learn more about our comprehensive water protection.

Rental property insurance is designed for situations where you own a property that is occupied full-time by a tenant.

Short-term rental insurance applies when you own and live at a property, but rent out all or part of it to guests for up to 180 days per year (like using AirBnB for a spare bedroom).

If you’re interested in adding short-term rental coverage to your policy, speak with a financial representative to explore your options.
