Commercial landlord insurance

Apartment building and commercial landlord insurance

Multi-family, mixed-use and small commercial investment properties in Snohomish and King County.

Apartment building insurance is a commercial property and liability package for owners of multi-unit residential and mixed-use buildings, covering the building, loss of rents, premises liability and related exposures such as equipment breakdown and crime. Buildings with five or more units are generally insured on commercial forms rather than personal landlord policies.

Lender and investor requirements

Commercial lenders and investor groups often have specific requirements for limits, deductibles, mortgagee clauses and named insureds, especially when properties are held in LLCs. We review your loan documents and operating agreements so the policy satisfies every party.

Apartment insurance FAQ

Can I insure several buildings on one policy?

Yes. A schedule of locations on one commercial policy is often simpler and can improve pricing.

Do I need to require renters insurance from tenants?

It is a good practice. Tenant renters policies reduce disputes and some liability exposure for the owner.
