There are essential differences between homeowners and rental insurance. It is reported that renters insurance is carried typically by less than fifty percent of all renters. However, since most homes are financed the financial institution protects their interests and the homeowners by requiring insurance. It is not unusual for landlords to need their tenants to cover the loss of personal property by purchasing their rental insurance. This, of course, should reduce the cost of the building owner’s insurance premium.
HOMEOWNER’S VS RENTAL INSURANCE
- Homeowner’s insurance Insures the home’s structure including other buildings on the homeowner’s property, subject to any exclusions and the type of claims made.
- The owner of the rental is responsible for insuring the building from fire or flooding that may damage the renter’s property. If the renter causes any harm to its property, the renter’s liability insurance pays for the loss of personal property. Typically the landlord requires its renters to purchase rental insurance.
- Homeowner’s insurance costs more than renter’s insurance.
- Exclusions
There are similar exclusions for both insurance policies such as earthquakes and floods.
