What is Apartment Building Insurance?

It is important to realize that traditional property insurance policies do not cover losses when a property is being rented out for habitational use.This is because of the higher risk of losses in Apartment Buildings.

You need to have a specialized policy that covers you for these risks. Apartment Building Insurance is critical to make sure assets are covered.Many of the risks in owning property are the same no matter what type of building you own.

While many of the risks are the same, the frequency that these losses occur are much greater than single family homes.

It is also important to remember, that owning an apartment building is a business. Your unique needs must be addressed.

What Does Apartment Building Insurance Cover?

The most common kind of Apartment Building Insurance is sometimes referred to as “basic form” coverage. Your policy covers those causes of loss listed by name in your policy documents such as fire, lighting, wind, hail, explosion, and others. This is know as named peril protection. It covers the essentials, but not everything.

  • Commercial umbrella policy.

    This coverage provides greater liability protection for any events that occur that are in excess of the liability coverage you own.
    For example your general liability insurance coverage has a limit of $2,000,000 for any claim. If someone is injured on your property say as a result of an open elevator shaft and the amount of the judgment exceeds your General liability coverage, your umbrella if you have one will cover you for any additional losses up to the amount of the umbrella policy coverage.This is an additional policy that must be purchased if you wish to be covered.

  • Business owner’s policy (BOP)

    A business owner’s policy (BOP) provides a package of coverage for apartment properties, business interruptions, and commercial liability all in one. What is the advantage? You have all the basic coverages you need in one policy and is generally cheaper than purchasing each coverage separately.

  • Worker’s compensation Insurance.

    This policy covers employees working on your premises from any work-related injury or illness.
    Did you know this? If you have somebody that you use on a regular basis to preform regular maintenance such as painting, plumber and minor repairs they maybe in the eyes of the law employees in many circumstances. As a result you could be on the hook for any injuries they sustain on the premises.

  • Commercial auto coverage.

    Any vehicles owned and operated by your business must be covered under commercial auto coverage.
    Did you know that if your maintenance worker is using his personal vehicle to drive to Home Depot to purchase some paint for a vacant unit in your building you could be responsible for any claims that might arise if they are involved in a car accident on the way to or from the store?

These policies do not cover your tenants for losses to their personal property. It is normally a best practice to require your tenants to purchase their own renters insurance policy

How Much Does Apartment Building Insurance Cost?

The cost of  Apartment Building Insurance for a property will vary depending on many factors that go into determining the rate. Some of those factors are:

  • Geographic location.
  • Valuation of the property.
  • Age of the property.
  • Claims history of the insured and the property.
  • Number of units in the building.

Those are the most basic items in determining price.

You want to know a little-known fact? The type of tenants in the property also greatly influence the price and even your ability to obtain coverage.
