Landlord Insurance

Property Owner Protection

Keep your rental property protected from financial risks.

Owning rental property comes with financial risks, from tenant damages to liability claims. Landlord insurance provides coverage beyond a standard homeowners policy, ensuring your investment is protected. At Washington First Insurance, we help property owners secure the right coverage for single-family homes, apartments, and multi-unit properties.

Protection for rental properties and landlords.

Standard homeowners insurance doesn’t cover rental properties. Landlord insurance ensures you’re financially protected from unexpected damages, tenant-related risks, and liability claims. Explore key coverage options below.

Coverage Options

Property Protection

Covers structural damage from fire, storms, vandalism, and other covered events, ensuring your rental stays in top condition.

Liability Coverage

Protects landlords from legal and medical expenses if a tenant or visitor is injured on the property.

Loss of Rental Income

Reimburses lost income if a covered event makes the rental unit uninhabitable, helping landlords avoid financial setbacks.
