Rent Loss Insurance

Rent loss insurance (or "loss of rents" coverage) compensates the landlord for lost rental income when a covered event makes units uninhabitable. Typically included in landlord policies with 6-24 month coverage periods.

What it means in practice

When a fire, flood, or other covered event damages a rental property, rent loss coverage pays the landlord for income lost during repair — up to the policy limit and period. Helps landlords continue debt service and operations during recovery.
