Let Us Pinpoint the Coverage You Need to Protect your Properties.
Our Excalibur Insurance Brokers will ask a lot of questions – for good reason.
The rental dwelling industry offers a range of inherent risks, the first and most prevalent is the risk to your physical property. One rental property or hundreds of units in your physical building could suffer damage from natural disaster or fire but also theft and vandalism. There is the risk that the tenants themselves pose to the building. Additionally, the risk of administration. Thorough screening of your tenants may leave you with a lot of personal and private information that could fall into the wrong hands. Our team is there to ensure you have exactly the coverage you require for these risks and more.
We begin by acknowledging the risks, then prioritising those in terms of what is most urgent, or likely. Then we’ll develop a plan to manage, mitigate, transfer, accept or even avoid those risks.
Here are a few areas of specialized concern you may want to consider when reviewing your coverage.
- Digital Theft and Data Breach
An often overlooked coverage in the rental industry. Your business gathers personal information to qualify tenants. Digital criminals target businesses of all size and scope. Casual phishing scams, hacking into your online application systems or your security systems are all methods that leave you and your tenants vulnerable.
- Guaranteed Income Insurance
When dealing with tenants, there is always the risk of residents not meeting their payment deadline, a risk that expands as your properties grow. This additional coverage or rider can cover the landlord if a tenant fails to completely cover their rent for a month – or skips out on payment altogether.
- Additional Construction Expenses
If your building has been damaged as a result of an insurable peril, this coverage can protect you from any costs that come as a result of having to modify a property to meet bylaw regulations or provincial/federal code during the repair or rebuild period.
Suffice to say, developing a coverage plan if you own a property that has tenants is critical. Landlord Insurance should be considered even if you simply rent out your summer cottage occasionally.
