Insurance 101 for Landlords

Acting as a landlord in California can be a risky business.

Landlords can face claims of wrongful eviction, discrimination, and personal injury occurring at the property, not to mention costs due to property damage caused by natural disasters, burglary, and vandalism. If the landlord has one employee or more, he or she must also maintain workers compensation insurance. Landlords without or with insufficient insurance can be faced with catastrophic business interruption and financial loss.
