Landlord Insurance FAQs

What Missouri Property Owners Ask Most

  • Do I need landlord insurance for just one rental property?

    Yes—even one rental carries liability and property risks. We offer policies for first-time and experienced landlords alike.

  • What’s the difference between homeowners and landlord insurance?

    Homeowners insurance is for primary residences. Landlord insurance is designed for properties you rent out to others.

  • Does landlord insurance cover tenant belongings?

     No. Tenants need (renters insurance) to protect their own items. We can help them get covered too.

  • Is loss of rental income included in my policy?

    Only if you add it. We recommend including it in case your unit becomes temporarily unlivable after a covered event.

  • Can I bundle landlord coverage with other policies?

    Absolutely. Many landlords also carry umbrella policies or combine coverage with other personal or business assets.
