What if you lost everything even though you thought you were protected? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sadly, this happens every day to California renters who are relying on their landlord\u2019s insurance. Unless tenants have their own renters insurance<\/a>, they may be completely out of luck in the event their property is damaged or stolen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But why doesn\u2019t the landlord\u2019s coverage protect you, and what makes renters insurance so special? Keep reading to discover everything you need to know! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Landlord insurance<\/a> is a special form of homeowner\u2019s coverage designed for those who intend to rent dwellings to other people. In its most basic form, this coverage helps protect the home, any structures attached to the home, some HVAC and other systems and certain items designed to help maintain the property (such as lawnmowers and leaf blowers). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on the insurance carrier, it may be possible to add additional riders to landlord coverage. This includes riders for burglary and vandalism as well as riders to protect homes that are being either constructed or repaired. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sadly, landlord coverage does not cover a tenant\u2019s property – which is another way that it is very similar to traditional homeowner\u2019s policies. In both cases, the coverage is designed to protect the property itself as well as items owned by the actual homeowner; no such protections are afforded to anything owned by those who are renting out the home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is why it\u2019s essential for tenants to have their own renters insurance. As an added bonus of renters insurance, it\u2019s possible to transfer this coverage from one rented home to another. In some cases, the fact that you have renters insurance may help you get a lease<\/a> from landlords who would otherwise not rent their home to you. <\/p>\n\n\nWhat Is Landlord Insurance?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
