  • How are landlord and renters insurance different?
    Landlord insurance primarily protects property owners, covering the building's structure and potential loss of rental income, but it doesn't include tenants' personal belongings. Renters insurance is designed for tenants to safeguard their possessions, provide liability coverage, and assist with living expenses if the rental becomes uninhabitable. In essence, landlord insurance protects the person who owns the home while renters insurance protects the person who rents the homes and personal belongings.
