Should your property become uninhabitable due to fire, mold, or water damage, Landlord Insurance can help cover the payments that you would’ve been receiving from your tenants.
Crime & Vandalism
If you’ve left any valuables locked up in your rental property, Landlord Insurance can protect them from theft or damage, compensating you for the cost to either repurchase or repair your personal property.

Commonly asked questions about Landlord Insurance
How much is landlord insurance in Canada?
The cost of landlord insurance in Canada depends on a number of factors, such as the type of property you own, where it’s located, and how much coverage you want. However, landlord insurance will generally cost about 20% more than it would cost to insure the same property with homeowner’s insurance. This is because rental properties typically see more claims than owner-occupied homes.
Is it a good idea to have landlord insurance?
Definitely! Having a landlord insurance policy can protect you from financial losses from incidents including theft, weather damage, fire, loss of rental income, and unintentional tenant damage.
Do landlords legally have to have insurance?
While landlords are not legally required to have insurance, nearly all mortgage lenders will require it before issuing a mortgage. Even if you don’t need a mortgage, it’s still a smart idea to keep yourself financially protected.
Does landlord insurance cover loss of rent?
Yes, your landlord insurance can cover loss of rental income if something should happen to your property and it becomes unlivable. Having the proper insurance coverage will either compensate you for lost rental income until your tenants can move back in again, or for the maximum amount that your policy covers you for.
Does landlord insurance cover tenant damage?
Yes and no. Your landlord insurance will help cover the cost of any unintentional damage, such as an accidental fire. And if the fire causes so much damage that your tenants have to move out while repairs are being done, your policy can help cover that lost income.However, your policy doesn’t include vandalism, which includes any intentional damage caused by your tenant.
