The primary concern for building owners is usually the protection of their investment property from catastrophic events. Commercial property insurance alone can seem complicated enough; How much building coverage is needed and how much it costs all vary depending on the building’s location, type of construction, year of construction, and several other factors.
However, your small apartment complex insurance must also protect you from liability claims and other less obvious things, like lost income (rent) after a covered loss. As your local independent insurance agent, we can help you determine the coverage you need help match you to a company that will meet your needs, and help make sure you are adequately protected.
Just a few of the risks apartment building owners have to deal with include:
- Fire, storms, and other catastrophic damage to the property
- Liability for tenant, employee, and visitor injuries
- Theft or vandalism
- Loss of rental income
- Invading the right to privacy of your tenants.
- Personal injury, wrongful eviction, or wrongful entry.
- Non-bodily injury claims such as libel and slander.
- Advertising liability
- Discrimination lawsuits filed by disgruntled tenants or employees
- Allegations of fraud, misrepresentation, and other intentional acts by employees
