Property Owners / Landlords Insurance

Even if it’s just to provide you with peace of mind, purchasing comprehensive commercial building insurance can make all the difference to your experience as a landlord. Here are a few reasons why you and your tenants may benefit from arranging commercial building insurance:

If your tenants find that they are unable to pay their rent, you can be sure that you’re covered for the amount with commercial building insurance.

• It can even help to cover any court fees, should it become necessary to repossess your building, evict the tenants or simply recover any rent owed. This part of your policy is called “rent agreed insurance”.
• You can also obtain property owner’s public liability insurance to help you pay for any legal expenses or damages you should find yourself liable for any tenant or employee’s injury that occurs within the insured premises.
• If your property is ever damaged, you, as the landlord, have an obligation to undertake or coordinate all repairs and replacements to the fittings and structure. With commercial building insurance, you can arrange to be covered for this possible eventuality, including in cases of fire and vandalism or even “special perils” such as “acts of god”, riots, explosions, pollution, contamination and any number of other issues.
• Likewise, if you’ve furnished the premises for the benefit of your tenants to any degree, contents insurance can cover all items you have provided, with the possible addition of accidental damage cover.
• Depending on the type of cover you opt for, you can even arrange to be insured against loss of rent, meaning that, should your property stand unoccupied for any period due to damage or any other problem, your insurance will pay out the amount you would expect to receive from your tenants during this time.
• Also, while it stands vacant, your policy can potentially also cover you for damage that may occur due to theft, vandalism, inclement weather or a number of other occurrences. You can also have your building insured against subsidence.
• You can even purchase “terrorism insurance”, covering any property within a building that stands in a large city.
