Overview

Your rental property is an investment. Insure it like one.

Apartment and rental property policies cover the building, your liability as a landlord and the rent you lose after a covered loss. Habitational risks have become harder to place in California, especially older buildings and those in wildfire areas.

We work with standard, specialty and excess & surplus carriers to place apartments, mixed-use and commercial buildings — and with lessor's risk policies for owners leasing commercial space.

Questions

Apartment & Landlord Insurance FAQ

Can you insure older apartment buildings?

Often yes, through specialty carriers. Updates to roofs, electrical, plumbing and heating help with eligibility and price.

Should my tenants have renters insurance?

Requiring renters insurance in your lease reduces disputes and claims against your policy.

Paying too much, or not sure you're covered?
