Multi-Family Property Insurance for Investors
Safeguard your property, your tenants, and ultimately, the income from your rental business.
Covering Your Apartment Building
Owning and managing apartment buildings comes with unique risks that go far beyond what a standard homeowners policy can handle. From fire and weather-related damage to tenant injuries and liability claims, the right insurance coverage is critical to protecting your property and the income it generates.
We specialize in insuring multi-unit residential properties and work with you to identify the specific risks your building faces. Our tailored solutions help protect your investment, shield you from costly lawsuits, and ensure your rental income stays secure.
What kind of insurance policy does an apartment building need?
Whether your multifamily apartment building is small or large, it should be treated like a commercial business. This means securing comprehensive landlord insurance to ensure you’re fully covered. This insurance is suitable for buildings with as few as five units, all the way up to those with hundreds. It’s specifically designed to protect you from the unique risks that homeowners don’t face.
What coverage is included in a standard policy?
A standard typically includes two key types of coverage: property coverage and liability coverage. Depending on your provider, you may also have the option to add various additional coverage options when choosing your policy.
Property & Liability Coverage
The first key component of apartment owner insurance is commercial property insurance. This coverage protects the physical structure of your building from damage caused by specific events, known as perils.
Some common perils covered by commercial property insurance for apartment buildings include:
- Wind and hail
- Lightning
- Fire and smoke
- Water
- Earthquake
- Vandalism
The second major component of insurance for apartment building owners is liability coverage. This type of insurance primarily protects against legal claims and medical expenses. For instance, general liability insurance can help cover costs if someone is injured on your property due to negligence and decides to file a lawsuit.
- Bodily Injury
- Property damage
- Personal Injury
- Legal Defense Costs
- Medical Expenses
- Blah Blah
Key takeaways
If your multifamily property isn’t properly insured, a single event—such as fire, water damage, or a tenant injury—can lead to major financial loss. With multiple units and tenants, the risks are greater and more complex. That’s why it’s essential to have insurance coverage specifically designed for the unique challenges of occupied multifamily buildings.
- Standard homeowners’ insurance usually won’t cover vacant properties.
- Property damage and liability coverage are critical to protect your asset.
- Explore additional endorsements for risks like vandalism or water damage.
- Understand what your policy excludes to avoid surprises.
- Understand the differences between Actual Cash Value and Replacement Cost Settlement.
- Remember personal belongings of your tenants are not covered.
