What insurance do I need for a rental property?

By Bob Millaway July 26, 2026

Short Answer

You need landlord insurance, which is different from standard homeowners insurance. Landlord insurance covers the property structure, liability protection if someone is injured on the property, and loss of rental income if the property becomes uninhabitable due to a covered event. You may also want umbrella liability coverage for additional protection. Require your tenants to carry renters insurance for their personal belongings. Full answer page coming soon.
