Insurance carriers for Ontario, Canada - recommendations?

[Kate H.]

I'm looking to buy a small multi-family or single family house with rooms/floors to rent out in Ottawa. I will likely form a corporation to own the property although not decided yet. Does anyone have recommendations for insurance companies for landlord insurance?

Hi @Kate H. - Feel free to send me a DM if you like - I own an insurance agency, and being a rental property owner myself I totally understand the needs and wants of investors.

As Roy mentions State Farm (now known as Desjardins Insurance) does a great job in this area, and happens to be the company I have an agency with.

Feel free to inbox me and i would be happy to discuss further. I find it always helps having an insurance quote on a property before hand too, before making the offer, so I know what my hard insurance costs are.
