Protect your rental property with coverage designed for landlords. PRK Insurance Agency, Inc. helps you compare options and choose reliable protection for your building, liability, and rental income.
Landlord insurance helps protect rental properties with coverage for the building, liability, and certain landlord related risks. Coverage varies depending on the property type and policy.
Homeowners insurance is designed for owner occupied homes. Landlord insurance is built for rental properties and typically includes protections that better match tenant occupied risks.
Some types of damage may be covered if caused by a covered event, but normal wear and tear is not. Intentional tenant damage may have limitations depending on the policy.
Liability coverage helps protect you if a tenant or guest is injured on your property or claims negligence. It can help cover legal costs and certain medical expenses.
Many landlord policies can include loss of rental income coverage. This can help replace rental income if your property becomes unlivable due to a covered claim.
Pricing depends on the property location, building size, age, condition, coverage limits, deductible, and risk factors like prior claims. We help you compare options to find the best fit.

Get clear answers to common landlord insurance questions, including what’s covered, how it differs from homeowners insurance, and how to protect your rental property in New York.
Landlord insurance may cover the rental dwelling, other structures, landlord-owned appliances or furnishings, premises liability, and lost rental income after a covered property loss. Coverage varies for one-to-four-family homes, larger buildings, mixed use, and short-term rentals.
Homeowners insurance is primarily designed for an owner-occupied residence. A tenant-occupied property creates different liability, occupancy, rental-income, and property exposures, so using the correct landlord or dwelling policy is important.
No. The landlord’s policy generally protects the building and the landlord’s covered interests, not the tenant’s furniture, clothing, electronics, or personal liability. Requiring renters insurance can help tenants protect themselves and document separate coverage.
Damage caused by a covered event may be insured, but ordinary wear, poor maintenance, intentional damage, and certain theft or vandalism losses may be limited or excluded. Security deposits and tenant screening address different risks than insurance.
It may replace qualifying rental income and certain continuing expenses when covered physical damage makes the property uninhabitable during repairs. It generally does not cover ordinary vacancy, eviction, lease disputes, or a tenant’s failure to pay rent.
Yes, but vacancy, renovation, seasonal use, and short-term rental activity often require specialized coverage or endorsements. Disclose the actual occupancy, lease length, property management, and platform use so the policy is not based on an incorrect risk description.
