If you own a residential property you are renting in Austin, TX, do not assume that your homeowner’s insurance will cover all costs associated with a disaster, accident, or other damaging incidents. It’s highly likely that your homeowners’ insurance policy will only cover owner-occupied homes. As soon as the room is rented out, the coverage no longer applies, and the landlord is responsible for 100% of the costs associated with damages. Luckily, landlord insurance is able to help and includes three key components. Armadillo Insurance Agency can assist you with the details.<\/p>\n

\nCoverage Provided By Landlords Insurance <\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Property Damage: <\/strong>This coverage kicks in when your rental property or furnishings are destroyed or damaged in a covered incident such as a fire, natural disaster, electric\/gas issue, vandalism, or irresponsible tenants. When searching for a landlord insurance policy look for one that offers replacement cost protection instead of the actual cash value to protect you best. <\/li>\n
  2. Lost Rental Income: <\/strong>If your rental property becomes uninhabitable because of a covered incident, this coverage offers rental reimbursement to cover the rent money you typically receive if tenants are living in residence. <\/li>\n
  3. Liability Protection: <\/strong>Covers the legal and\/or medical costs if a tenant or visitor is injured at your rental due to a property maintenance issue or neglect. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In addition to the three core pieces identified above, landlords have the option to purchase additional coverage for extra peace of mind. The most popular of these add-ons include guaranteed income insurance whereby, if the tenant fails to pay rent or pays less than the amount owed, this policy will cover the difference.<\/p>\n
