Rental Insurance Question - How much is enough / reauired?
My property manager has verbiage in their agreement that states:
"At all time during this agreement, Owner must obtain in effect a public liability insurance policy that names Broker as co-insured or additional insured and covers losses related to the Property in an amount of not less than $500,000 on an occurrence basis"
My policy 1) doesnt have the Broker added yet and 2) is for only $300,000 (plus the cost to replace the home which is about $170,000)
My questions:
1) is it common to add a broker (i.e. the property manager) to my policy
2) Is $300,000 considered too low? Should I go ahead and up it? It's $24 / year to up it to $500,000 but ever nickel and dime matter.
3) would you have had it higher than $300,000 anyway?
Thanks in advance!
