Who Requires Property Manager Insurance Coverage?
Essential coverage is necessary if you engage in these activities:
- Leasing or renting residential properties to tenants
- Overseeing rental properties for property owners
- Providing contracted services for rental property owners
Industry-related lawsuits occur frequently, and lacking appropriate protection exposes your enterprise to avoidable risks. Clients expect proper insurance protecting their valuable assets while demonstrating your professionalism.
Property Manager Insurance Coverage Details
Standard coverages include property protection for physical buildings, general commercial liability, and errors & omissions liability. Beyond protecting buildings from common hazards like fire, coverage includes rental income replacement, sewer backup protection, tenant damage coverage, and pollution protection.
Property Management Insurance shields managers from negligence allegations and damages through professional liability coverage. Commercial general liability addresses neglect allegations resulting in bodily injury and property damage. Policies typically provide professional liability on a "claims-made" basis, activating when claims are filed and reported to insurers.
