Landlord Insurance
Landlord Insurance for Rental Property Owners
Protect Your Investment Property and Rental Income
Owning rental property in the Seattle metro area can be a rewarding investment strategy, but it also comes with risks that a standard homeowners policy is not built to handle. When someone other than the property owner occupies a dwelling, the liability exposure changes, the wear and tear increases, and the potential for lost income after a covered event becomes a real financial concern. Landlord insurance, sometimes called a dwelling fire or DP-3 policy, is specifically designed to address these realities.
Anker Insurance works with property owners across Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, and Texas to build landlord policies that protect the building structure, provide robust liability coverage, and safeguard rental income streams. Whether you own a single-family rental in Seattle, a duplex in Portland, a condo in Phoenix, or a small portfolio of investment properties throughout the Southwest and West Coast, our agents will help you select the right coverages at competitive rates.
