Insurance options for HouseHacking (house mate) but for limited duration stays

Shawn C.
Posted

Hello:

I am looking into listing my Single family home (1 Bed/1 Bath + shared living space/kitchen) on Furnished Finder for traveling professionals (likely nurses). However, due to it being:

1) In the state of California

2) A shared home, rather than an outright external property being rented

...the default insurance company on offer advised that many carriers are pulling out of CA and that I should go to a local insurance agency.

My current insurance for home policy does not offer a "home-sharing endorsement" but only a separate renter's insurance, which would complicate things, since it's for traveling professionals, and they're not going to be booking for 12 straight months. I would probably ask for 1 or 2-month minimum rental.

Has anyone already had experience on Furnished Finder, or done anything similar (and if it's already been covered a million times, apologies)?  If so, do you have any advice on this particular situation with regards to insurance coverage?

Thank you!

What insurance options are available for house hacking in California for short-term stays in a shared home?

Consider requiring renters to have their own renters insurance and ensure your homeowner's policy is aware of the arrangement, as specific house-sharing insurance options in California are limited.
