Whats the difference between home insurance and rental insurance?

for my rental property? Is it a good idea to switch home insurance to rental insurance when a tenant is living in my rental property just in case if they smashed some holes on the wall, or some damages on the property? Where i can compare home insures?

Thanks!

You need to change or they will not pay if you have a claim. Holes are not covered, neither is most tenant damage. But, you still need fire damage, weather, etc etc.

Also, if you are going to allow animals check your policy, they are not likely to cover your property if you allow any dangerous animals.

Why home insurance companies are sensitive to lapses in the insurance?

When I shop for a home insurance I am always asked if my home is currently insured or if there are lapses in my insurance policy. Some companies outright refuse to give me a quote when I tell them that I haven’t had home insurance in the last 3-4 months. I am wondering why this is important for them?! They just referred to their company policy and did not give me any meaningful reasoning. Who’s the best company for home insurance? Thank you for your answer.

Insurance companies are wary of lapses in any kind of insurance policies. In your case it just happened to be home insurance.

The single most feared factor in the insurance business is not hurricanes, not bush-fires, not wars, not meteor strikes but what’s known as ‘moral hazard’. Moral hazard is, in simple terms, lack of inhibition in preferring a claim under less than above-the-board circumstances.

For example, if your camera is insured for home use only, you cannot make a claim if the insured camera suffers damage during a jungle safari. Most of us, being honest persons, would not even want to claim under such circs. However, since, as a rule it takes all kinds to make this world, there exist individuals who would make a claim as if the damage occurred at home. Such individuals are considered to be ‘moral hazards’.

Coming back to your original question, insurance companies know from empirical evidence that the incidence of moral hazard is greater – much greater – in those cases where there’s a break iin coverage. It’s likely that the insured is trying to renew the policy after a loss has occurred.

You need to provide evidence to the insurance company that you did not intend to let the policy lapse. That it lapsed, is a fortuitous happenning (please note the wording – underwriters love such language) and not a deliberate omission. ‘I do not want to be penalised for something over which I had no control’ is the line you need to take. You could strike lucky with this line.

Low Cost Homeowners Insurance – How to Get the Best Rate

Looking for low cost homeowners insurance? Want to get the best rate with a top-rated company? Here’s how …

How much homeowners insurance do I need?

You need enough homeowners insurance to cover the cost of rebuilding your home if it’s destroyed. You can determine this cost by calling a builder or a real estate agent to get the local building cost per square foot. Multiply this figure by your home’s square footage to get the amount of structural coverage you need.

In addition to structural coverage you need insurance to replace your personal possessions if they’re damaged or stolen. Most homeowners policies give you coverage for your personal possessions equal to 50% to 70% of the amount of your structural coverage. If your possessions are worth more than that you can ask your insurance agent to add more coverage.

You also need enough insurance to pay for a bodily injury or a property damage lawsuit when you’re found to be at fault. Most homeowners insurance policies provide a minimum of $100,000 worth of liability insurance. But due to the rise in personal injury lawsuits, purchasing at least $300,000 to $500,000 gives you better protection.

Lastly, you need insurance to pay for your living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable due to a fire, storm, or other disasters. Most policies cover you for an amount equal to 20% of your structural coverage.

Where can I get the best rate with a reliable company?

Because homeowners insurance can vary by $1,000 or more from one company to the next, the first thing you need to do is to comparison shop.

There are insurance comparison websites that give you homeowners insurance quotes from a number of A-rated companies. Get at least three quotes then compare them to get the best one.

Some of these sites even offer a free online chat service and a toll-free telephone service so you can get answers to any insurance questions you may have. (See link below.)

To reduce the cost of your homeowners insurance you can raise your deductible. This is the amount you have to pay before your insurance company will pay a claim. The higher your deductible, the lower your insurance premiums.

Also, ask you agent for every discount you’re entitled to. Most companies give discounts for having both your car and your homeowners insurance with them, for having safety and security features installed in your home, and for a number of other reasons.
