Protect Your Investment Property—
Landlord Insurance in Florida

Don’t Risk Your Rental—
Get the Right Insurance for Landlords

If you own a home, condo, or other property that you rent out—even just part-time—a standard homeowners policy isn’t enough. Florida landlords need specialized coverage to protect their investment, income, and liability when tenants live in their properties. Proper Insurance Advisors helps landlords in Tallahassee, Crestview, and across the Panhandle secure “Dwelling Fire” or landlord insurance (DP-3 and similar policies), making sure your rental is truly covered.

Liability Protection

If a tenant or guest is injured and sues, your policy steps in to cover legal costs and settlements. Essential for all rental scenarios, including student and short-term rentals.

Loss of Rental Income

If a covered event (like a fire or hurricane) makes the property uninhabitable, this pays you the lost rent while repairs are underway.

Landlord Insurance—Common Questions Answered

  • Do I need special insurance for a rental property in Florida?

    Yes—standard homeowners insurance won’t cover tenant-occupied homes. You need a landlord or “dwelling fire” policy to stay protected.

  • What is a dwelling fire policy, and how is it different from homeowners?

    Dwelling policies can be for owner occupied, but mainly for non-owner. It covers the structure, liability, and rental income, with options for added protections.

  • Does homeowners insurance cover a house I rent out?

    No—if you rent to others, claims may be denied under a homeowners policy. Switch to landlord coverage for proper protection.

  • Can I cover multiple properties with one policy?

    Often, yes! Ask about portfolio policies and discounts for multi-property owners.

  • What about short-term or vacation rentals?
