Coverage Snapshot

What landlord insurance usually helps protect

Landlord insurance is built around protecting the rental property itself, your liability as the owner, and certain financial exposures tied to renting the property out.

Building Coverage

Helps protect the rental building itself if it is damaged by an insured loss such as fire or certain water-related events, subject to policy wording and limits.

Landlord Liability

Helps protect you if you are legally responsible for bodily injury or property damage involving the rental property or its maintenance.

Loss of Rental Income

If the property becomes unlivable after an insured loss, this can help replace lost rental income for a period of time, within policy limits and terms.

Landlord Contents

Helps protect items that belong to you as the landlord, such as appliances, maintenance equipment, and furnishings you provide with the rental.

Who It's For

Designed for property owners who want clarity before they commit

Whether you own one rental home, a basement suite, or an investment property, the goal is the same: protect the building properly and understand the exposures that come with renting it out.

Landlords we commonly help

  • Owners of detached rental homes in British Columbia
  • Owners renting out basement suites or secondary units
  • Clients switching from another insurer at renewal
  • Investors protecting income-generating residential property
  • Owners who want liability and income-loss protection built into the policy properly

What may affect eligibility and price

  • Property age, rebuild cost, and overall condition
  • Roof, plumbing, electrical, and heating updates
  • Tenant occupancy type and unit configuration
  • Claims history and years continuously insured
  • Selected deductibles, liability limits, and income-loss options
A rental property should be insured as a rental property. Using the wrong occupancy type can create serious coverage problems later.
Why Vansure

Landlord insurance should make sense before you buy it

Too many owners assume a standard home policy is enough for a rental. We built Vansure to make the process clearer, more helpful, and easier to trust.

We explain the rental setup

We walk through how landlord insurance differs from owner-occupied coverage and why that difference matters.

We help build the policy

From building coverage to liability and rental income protection, we help shape the policy around the actual property and tenancy profile.

We stay useful after the sale

Questions do not stop once the policy is issued. We help at renewal, when tenancy changes, and when claims questions come up later.

How It Works

A simpler way to get the right landlord insurance fit

We start with the property, the occupancy, and the rental setup — then help narrow down the right direction.

1

Tell us about the property

Share the basics like location, property type, building details, tenant setup, and any insurance questions you already have.

2

We review the rental exposure

We look at building details, liability needs, occupancy, and income-loss considerations before reviewing suitable options.

3

Choose coverage with confidence

Once everything makes sense, we help finalize the policy with a clearer understanding of limits, deductibles, and endorsements.

FAQ

Questions landlords ask us all the time

These are some of the most common starting points before a client moves ahead with a landlord insurance quote.

Most policies are built around building coverage, landlord liability, loss of rental income after a covered loss, and coverage for certain landlord-owned contents.

Usually no. A rental property should normally be disclosed and insured as a rental. Using the wrong occupancy type can create serious coverage issues.

No. Your tenant’s belongings should normally be protected by their own tenant insurance policy, not your landlord policy.

If the rental property cannot be occupied after an insured loss, this coverage can help replace lost rental income for a period of time, subject to terms and limits.

Yes, many landlords require tenants to carry their own tenant insurance for contents and personal liability. It helps protect both sides of the rental arrangement.
