How this Insurance Could be a Great Advantage
The year of free insurance offered by Discount Landlord could be a major advantage those renting out their properties Landlords already have a lot of expenses, including the costs of advertising their properties, maintaining the building, screening tenants and much more.
The cost of insurance is piled on top of these expenses, making it even more expensive to be a landlord renting out their property. Landlords will receive an income from their rental property, but when things go badly wrong such as floods, fire or storm damage – the landlord can start to struggle financially. When the rent stops coming in and the landlord is faced with a large bill, it is easy to get behind on finances very quickly. This is why landlord insurance is very important.
Having no cost landlord insurance for a year will make it a little easier for the homeowner to balance their books and the money they save on this essential can be invested in the property in many other ways – such as renovations or repairs.
The Benefits of Landlord Insurance
Why is it so beneficial to have landlord insurance? For homeowners who are renting out their properties, this type of insurance is essential because it protects them from many unfortunate situations.
The policy usually covers the building, with the option of insuring the contents that belong to the landlord.
A typical policy will cover events such as earthquake, explosion, lightning, fire, flood, storm, theft and vandalism. Landlord insurance should also cover the landlord for the loss of income if they are unable to rent out their property to tenants because of damage.
The landlord’s property is likely to be one of their most precious assets, so it is important to protect this investment and safeguard it for the future. Many landlords neglect to consider the importance of quality insurance cover and then they find themselves affected by negative situations that arise when they rent out their property to tenants.
Also the value of lost or damaged items, such as if the property experiences flood or storm damage, will be replaced. The replacement cover is usually “new for old”, which means that the item will be compensated for the value that it would be to replace it new. Also other details will be covered such as replacement lock cover after a theft.
