What it usually covers

  • The home or unit. Review insured damage to the structure or the interior items you are responsible for.
  • Furnishings you provide. Ask how property coverage treats furniture, appliances and other belongings kept for guest use.
  • Rental-related liability. Review protection for covered injury or property-damage claims arising from the paid stays.
  • Lost rental income. Ask whether income lost after insured physical damage is covered and for how long.

Who it is for

For an owner renting a room, home or condo to guests for short stays. Start with how often you rent, whether you stay on-site and whether the property is also your home. Occasional hosting and regular rental activity can raise different insurance questions.

City rules may require a permit or registration. In the City of Los Angeles, home-sharing registration is tied to an eligible primary residence, and some housing is excluded. Check the rules for the property's own jurisdiction before listing it.

Renting to a household on a longer lease instead? Start with Landlord insurance for one to four units.

As part of every quote, we review the current policy and coverage documents you provide.

What to have ready

Tell us about the rental you operate or plan to offer:

  • Address, property type and whether it is your primary residence.
  • Your current property policy and any hosting endorsement.
  • Typical stay length, rental frequency and whether you remain on-site.
  • A description of the rooms, furnishings and amenities guests use.
  • Any city registration or permit and association rental restrictions.
  • The booking platform's protection documents and your rental-income estimate.

Common questions

Is my homeowners policy enough? (show answer)
Maybe not. Tell your agent about paid stays before accepting guests; occasional and regular rentals can call for different coverage arrangements.
Does a hosting platform's protection replace my policy? (show answer)
Do not assume it does. Bring its current documents so you can compare what they address with your own property and liability needs.
Does having insurance make the rental legal? (show answer)
Insurance does not replace local registration or eligibility rules. The City of Los Angeles requires hosts to meet its home-sharing requirements; that is not a rule for every city in Los Angeles County.
What if the rental is a condo? (show answer)
Bring the association's documents and master policy as well as your own. The unit-owner and association coverage split still needs review. See Condo insurance.
