ShieldPath Insurance Group
Landlord Insurance for Rental Property Owners
Protect your building, liability exposure, and rental income with coverage tailored to single-family rentals, multi-family properties, and small portfolios.
What this policy is designed to do
Coverage built for rental-property risk
Landlord insurance is structured differently than a homeowners policy. It is intended for properties you rent to others and can be tailored for how you operate—self-managed, professionally managed, or investor-owned.
Dwelling (Building) Coverage
Helps cover damage to the rental structure from covered losses (for example, fire, wind, or vandalism), based on the policy form and limits selected.
Landlord Liability
Helps protect you if a tenant or guest alleges bodily injury or property damage and you are found legally responsible.
Loss of Rents / Fair Rental Value
May help replace rental income when a covered loss makes the property uninhabitable, subject to policy terms and waiting periods.
Optional Protections
Add options such as landlord contents, equipment breakdown, water backup, ordinance or law, and higher liability limits where available.

Common gaps we help you avoid
Make sure your rental is insured like a rental
Many owners discover too late that a standard homeowners policy may not fit a tenant-occupied property. We help you place the right policy form and endorsements for your risk profile.
✔
Correct occupancy & policy form
Owner-occupied, tenant-occupied, seasonal, or short-term use can change eligibility and coverage. We confirm the right structure up front.
✔
Liability limits that match exposure
We review premises liability, additional insured needs, and umbrella options to help protect your assets.
Landlord insurance FAQs
Answers to common questions from rental property owners and property managers.
Is landlord insurance the same as homeowners insurance?
No. Landlord insurance is designed for tenant-occupied properties and typically includes landlord liability and options such as loss of rents, subject to policy terms.
Does landlord insurance cover tenant belongings?
Generally, no. Tenants typically need renters insurance for their personal property. Your policy may cover landlord-owned contents used to service the rental (for example, appliances you provide), depending on the coverage selected.
Can I insure a vacant rental between tenants?
Vacancy can change coverage. If the property will be vacant beyond the carrier’s threshold, you may need vacant property coverage. We can help you determine the right approach.
What information do you need to quote landlord insurance?
Property address, year built, construction type, number of units, occupancy status, prior losses, desired limits, and any renovations or updates.
Can you cover short-term rentals or student rentals?
Sometimes, depending on the carrier and underwriting guidelines. Tell us how the property is used and we will shop appropriate options.
Do you offer coverage for renovations or construction?
Yes. If you are renovating or building, builders risk insurance may be a better fit. We can advise based on the project scope and timeline.
