Indiana Landlord Insurance Coverage

Landlord Insurance in Indiana

Landlord Insurance for Indianapolis Rental Property Owners

Landlord insurance protects rental properties, the income they generate, and your liability as a property owner. Anchor Insurance helps investors and landlords in Indianapolis and central Indiana compare coverage from multiple carriers for single-family rentals, duplexes, condos, townhomes, and small multi-unit buildings. Whether you own one rental in Fountain Square or several properties across Marion and Johnson counties, we set coverage for each property based on its occupancy and lease terms.

Why a Homeowners Policy Is Not Enough

A standard homeowners policy is designed for owner-occupied homes. Once a property is rented to tenants, many homeowners policies limit or exclude coverage, which can leave you without protection after a fire, storm, or liability claim. A landlord policy, often called a dwelling fire policy, is written specifically for non-owner-occupied properties. Lenders also typically require landlord coverage on financed rental properties.

What Landlord Insurance Can Cover

  • Dwelling: Repairs or rebuilding after covered losses such as fire, wind, hail, and lightning.
  • Other Structures: Detached garages, sheds, and fences on the rental property.
  • Loss of Rental Income: Replaces rent you lose while a covered loss makes the property unlivable.
  • Landlord Liability: Injuries to tenants or visitors caused by conditions on the property you are responsible for.
  • Landlord-Owned Property: Appliances, furnishings, and maintenance equipment you provide at the rental.
  • Optional Endorsements: Vandalism, water backup, and building code upgrade coverage.

What Landlord Insurance Does Not Cover

Landlord policies do not cover your tenants' personal belongings or their personal liability. Many landlords require tenants to carry renters insurance as a lease condition. Flood damage is also excluded from standard policies and must be purchased separately.

Coordinate Coverage Across Your Properties

Owners with multiple rentals can add umbrella insurance for liability protection above their landlord policies. If you own a commercial or mixed-use building, our commercial insurance options may be a better fit. For your primary residence, see our Indiana home insurance coverage. We compare options from carriers such as Chubb and Grange.
