Commercial building

Real Estate & Habitational Insurance

For owners and managers of apartments, rentals, and mixed-use property — and the people who live and visit there.

Real Estate & Habitational

Insurance built around how you operate

Owners and managers of apartments, rental, and mixed-use property carry liability for everyone who enters the premises, plus the buildings themselves. Habitational risk draws close scrutiny — tenant injuries, fire, water damage, and habitability claims all factor in.

We design property-owner programs that value your buildings correctly, protect your rental income, and address the habitational exposures carriers watch most closely.

From an insurance perspective

What to look for

The details that decide whether a policy actually protects you when it matters:

Replacement cost vs. actual cash value

ACV settlements leave big gaps on older buildings. Confirm how your property is valued before a loss.

Ordinance or law coverage

Older properties cost more to rebuild to today's code — this coverage pays that difference.

Water damage & sewer backup

A leading habitational claim. Make sure it isn't limited or excluded.

Habitability & abuse exclusions

Habitational policies often restrict assault, abuse, and habitability claims. Understand the carve-outs.

Lease & tenant requirements

Require renters insurance and additional-insured status to shift risk off your policy.

Vacancy provisions

Coverage can suspend once a unit or building sits vacant beyond a set period.

Questions & answers

Real Estate & Habitational insurance FAQ

What insurance do property owners and landlords need?

Commercial property, premises/general liability, loss of rents, equipment breakdown, ordinance or law, and an umbrella are common for apartment, rental, and mixed-use property.

What's the difference between replacement cost and actual cash value?

Replacement cost pays to rebuild without deducting depreciation; actual cash value subtracts depreciation, which can leave large gaps on older buildings.

Should tenants be required to carry renters insurance?

Requiring renters insurance and additional-insured status helps shift tenant-caused losses off the owner's policy.
