Coverage

A landlord should constantly be ready for the unanticipated. If your rental property is affected by wind, fire, or another insured loss, landlord insurance will assist you in repairing or rebuilding. If your renters can't stay in your rental property while it is being repaired, it will also assist you with rental income when you need it the most. We offer two policy types for your investment property: 

  • Buildings and Content insurance – Intermediate protection: provides coverage for designated risks, including fire and vandalism protection.
  • Building and Content insurance – Superior protection: provides all-risk coverage for the building, and coverage for designated risks for the contents, including protection in case of fire and vandalism. 
  • Our rented dwelling insurance covers damages to the building itself and attached structures.

  • Optional

    Our landlord insurance can cover damages to personal property as a landlord in the building such as appliances like laundry machines, carpets, furniture, etc.

  • Optional

    If chosen as an option, rented dwelling insurance can cover buildings and structures detached from the rental property such as:

    • Shed
    • Garage
    • Storage space
    • Etc.
  • Landlord insurance provides basic cover for the loss of rental income if the tenant can't stay in the rented dwelling due to damage and repairs following a loss covered by the contract. You can increase this protection according to your needs to adequately protect your rental income. 

  • Our rented dwelling insurance will protect you if you are legally liable for unintentional property damage or physical injury on your rental property.

FAQ

Rented dwelling insurance, also known as rental property insurance or landlord insurance, protects the building itself, a basic amount of rental income that you can increase to fit your needs and liability insurance relative to the insured property. If you include furniture in the rental of your property, you can add protection to cover the items included in the rental. To learn more about landlord insurance, don’t hesitate to reach out to your insurance representative. 

A landlord should have the insurance for the building and the belongings he or she owns within the building as well as liability insurance. In other words, the owner of rented dwelling should have insurance that protects the space in which tenants reside and his personal property and liability on the grounds of the insured property. On the other hand, renters should have tenant insurance to protect their personal belongings and personal liability with their own insurance policy, which we also offer at Intact Insurance.

Yes. You do not need to have a homeowners insurance policy with us to cover your rental dwelling building. However, you could enjoy benefits and discounts if you bundle them together. Ask your insurance representative for more information.

Your rented dwelling insurance coverage may be impacted if your rental property is vacant, even for a little time. If your rental property is left unoccupied, reach out to your insurance representative to make sure you have the right coverage. Depending on the duration of the vacancy, you may need to adapt your coverage.

Landlords can insure an entire house, condos, cottages or multiplex (6 units or less) under a rented dwelling insurance policy if the investment property is used for residential purposes only. If you would like to insure a commercial property, commercial real estate insurance will provide the right coverage.
