Landlord & Rental Property Insurance

A rented-out property is a business asset, and a homeowners policy will not treat it like one.

What Is Landlord & Rental Property Insurance?

Landlord insurance (a dwelling fire policy) covers the structure you rent out, your liability as the property owner, and — importantly — the rental income you lose while the property is being repaired after a covered loss. Converting a home to a rental without telling your carrier is one of the more common ways people discover a claim denial.

Why Landlord & Rental Property Insurance Matters

A homeowners policy is written for an owner-occupied residence. Once tenants move in, the exposure changes and the policy form needs to change with it. Loss-of-rents coverage is the piece owners most often overlook: the mortgage does not pause while the property is uninhabitable.

Who Needs Landlord & Rental Property Insurance?

Anyone renting out a single-family home, duplex, condo or accessory unit — including accidental landlords who moved and kept the old house.

Coverage Highlights

  • Dwelling coverage for the rented structure
  • Other structures on the property
  • Landlord liability protection
  • Loss of rental income
  • Vandalism and tenant-caused damage options
  • Coverage for owner-supplied appliances and furnishings

Local Considerations

The rental math in Benton County is straightforward: 136,217 housing units, 67.0% owner-occupancy countywide against just 50.4% in Bentonville, and median gross rent of $1,344 in Bentonville, $1,277 countywide and $1,270 in Rogers. That rent is the number loss-of-rents coverage is protecting. Weather sets the other half of the exposure — 164 hail events, 167 thunderstorm wind events and 23 tornado events in the county between 2015 and 2025 — so roof age and the wind/hail deductible deserve a hard look on any rental you own here.
