Why Union County landlords need landlord insurance
Union County's strong rental market from Elizabeth to Plainfield means landlords need dwelling-fire coverage and landlord liability. A homeowners policy is for an owner-occupied home — once you rent it out, you need a dwelling-fire (landlord) policy, or a claim can be denied outright.
What landlord insurance covers in Union County
- Dwelling / Building — the rental structure itself against fire and covered perils.
- Landlord Liability — tenant or visitor injury claims on the property.
- Lost Rental Income — rent you lose when a covered loss makes a unit uninhabitable.
- Other Structures — detached garages, fences, and structures on the property.
