Insurance for Short Term Rental in Private Residence

[Nathan Faucett]

Hello all - I am currently renovating basement to be used as a 2 bed / 1 bath short term rental. My basement will have a private entrance and will be completely separate from the rest of my home, with a few locked doors in between me and my guests.

I've been informed that I might not be able to use my current homeowners insurance policy. What have others used for insurance in a similar situation?
