It is certainly not compulsory to have landlords insurance policy. However, some people may find it hard to raise finance for their investment property if they don’t first take out an adequate landlord’s insurance policy to cover the property. Most bank and financial institutions will insist as a prerequisite to granting you a loan that you have an adequate landlord’s insurance policy. It is highly recommended that landlord insurance policy should always be taken out on any investment property that you rent or lease to a third party. It is the only true way to securely protect your investment. Without a landlords insurance policy you may be personally liable for any economic losses even when someone else is at fault.
If you don’t have landlords insurance you will unfortunately be personally liable for the repairs occasioned to your property. If it is just a broken window, then that might not cause you too much concern. However, if your property is completely destroyed by fire, then in the absence of a landlord’s insurance policy, you will bear the full cost of rebuilding, and if your property is under a mortgage to a bank of financial institutions, you will have the added financial burden of having to continue repaying the mortgage without the benefit of receiving any rent. Added to this the enormous costs of rebuilding, and you can see that not having landlords insurance is very risky indeed.
