Loss of rents

Rental income protection when a covered dwelling loss makes the unit uninhabitable — limits, waiting periods, and documentation.

Loss of rents (or rental income) coverage can help replace lost rental income when a covered dwelling loss makes the unit unlivable — subject to limits, waiting periods, and the form’s definitions.

It is not a vacancy guarantee and not a cure for nonpaying tenants. Fair Housing and eviction processes are legal topics — not insurance marketing promises.

Underwriters may ask for current rent, lease terms, and whether the building is already vacant. Put monthly rent and lease status in the detailed description when known.

Affordable Landlord Insurance surfaces loss-of-rents questions on landlord quote requests for ten service-area states. We do not claim every dwelling form includes the same rental-income wording.

Pair with vacancy and dwelling-forms guides when the building sits empty between tenants or during renovation. Browse /guides/ then Get a Quote.

Documentation that helps: current lease, rent roll for multi-unit, and photos after a loss. Mention mortgagee requirements for rental-income limits when a lender asks.

Seasonal or short-term rental income is underwritten differently than a 12-month lease. Say the rental model plainly.
