Rentec Direct’s seamless integration with Steadily Landlord Insurance provides a convenient solution for landlords and investors to secure affordable, comprehensive insurance conveniently through the Rentec Direct software.
Landlord insurance, unlike homeowner policies, offers comprehensive coverage for tenant-occupied dwellings. It includes property damage, liability protection, and loss of rental income, providing a robust security blanket and peace of mind for property owners, making them feel secure and protected.
Steadily, a leading landlord insurance provider offers comprehensive coverage for various property types at affordable rates. This seamless integration with Rentec Direct allows landlords to purchase scalable insurance policies directly through their Rentec Direct account, providing a sense of financial security and confidence for clients.
Why landlord insurance?
Homeowner Insurance vs Dwelling Fire Insurance vs Landlord Insurance
The three most used insurance coverages are Homeowner, Dwelling Fire, and Landlord. Each of these types of coverage has unique limits, making it essential to understand the differences. For instance, it’s common to hear “landlord policy” and “dwelling fire policy” used interchangeably. While both types of insurance cover losses to property that is not owner-occupied, some key differences really matter.
- Homeowners Insurance is available for owner-occupied properties, designed to protect an owner-occupied primary residence, personal property, and limited coverage for other structures in specific causes of loss.
- Dwelling Fire Policy Insurance is available for non-owner-occupied properties, designed to protect the main building and other structures, such as fences and garages.
- Landlord Insurance is designed to cover losses at property rented out to others. It is a comprehensive option that includes everything in a dwelling fire policy, plus more, providing landlords with a sense of security and peace of mind. Key Benefits of Landlord Insurance with Steadily may include coverage for:
- Appliances
- Landscaping equipment
- Property Damage: Damage to the building itself caused by covered perils
- Personal Liability Protection: This coverage can protect landlords from legal and medical costs if a tenant or visitor is injured on the property.
- Loss of Rental Income: If the rental property becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss, this coverage helps compensate the property owner for lost rental income during the period of repairs.
- Contents: Landlord-owned contents on the property
- Contents belonging to the tenant should be covered under a renters insurance policy
