Compare Short-Term Rental Insurance Options with ClicAssure

Short-term home insurance is essential for anyone considering renting out their property, whether occasionally or regularly. It's crucial to understand the risks involved, declare this activity to your insurer, and select the appropriate coverage to protect your investment.

Why Purchase Short-Term Home Insurance?

Renting your property for short periods can expose you to increased risks, including tenant-caused damages, theft, and accidents. Standard home insurance typically does not cover short-term rentals without a specific rider or a dedicated insurance policy. Therefore, declaring your rental activity to your insurer is vital to avoid potential claim refusals in the event of damage.

What Short-Term Home Insurance Covers

Short-term home insurance typically includes the following protections (however, always confirm coverage details with your insurer):

  • Property Damage: Covers damage from events such as fire, water damage, hail, and storms. These protections resemble standard home insurance but are tailored to the heightened risks associated with short-term rentals.
  • Liability Insurance: Protects against claims if a tenant is injured on your property. This coverage is crucial for avoiding costly lawsuits in case of accidents.
  • Tenant-Caused Damages: While some insurers exclude intentional vandalism or theft, certain policies may provide coverage for accidental damage caused by tenants. It's recommended to verify your insurer’s specific terms and add riders if necessary.
  • Loss of Rental Income: If your property becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss, this coverage can compensate you for lost rental income during repairs. This option is particularly beneficial for property owners reliant on rental income.
  • Personal Property Protection: Some insurers offer coverage for personal belongings left on the premises during rentals. This might include furniture, electronics, or household items, though it’s important to verify the specific limits of your rental insurance policy.
  • Relocation Costs for Tenants: If a covered event renders your property temporarily uninhabitable, this coverage may cover tenants' relocation expenses, ensuring their safety and reducing your liability.
  • Common Area Damage (for Condo Owners): If you own a condo, insurance may also cover tenant-caused damage to common areas. This coverage is essential for preventing disputes with your condominium association.

Implications for Condo Owners

If you are a condo owner renting your unit short-term, be aware that this can significantly increase your insurance premiums, as it is considered a commercial activity. Additionally, failing to declare your rental activity could result in your insurer refusing compensation for damages caused by tenants. It's equally important to confirm whether your condo association is informed and permits this type of activity, as they might prohibit short-term rentals altogether.
