Liability coverage
Risk Factors
You may need to pay medical expenses and legal costs when a tenant, customer of a tenant or guest at a residential property sustains an injury.
Solution
Typically, this type of coverage doesn’t cover everyday misfortunes of tenants, such as a tenant slipping and falling in his kitchen. But if a leaky roof causes a guest to slip and fall in a common area such as a lobby, liability coverage can pay medical costs and legal bills.
Equipment breakdown coverage

Solution
Equipment breakdown coverage can help a landlord repair or replace damaged equipment.
Fair rental value coverage Coverage
Risk Factors

Oftentimes, older rental properties don’t meet current building codes.
Solution
If a property sustains a covered structural loss, ordinance of law coverage can help cover the additional cost of reconstructing the building to meet current codes.
