In recent times, apartment owners and landlords have been facing unprecedented spikes in their insurance costs. This surge in apartment and landlord insurance is attributed to a myriad of factors, including insurers’ poor loss experience, escalating reinsurance costs, and the rising expenses of construction for repairs or replacements. Such conditions have led several insurance carriers to exit the market, either by cancelling existing policies or refraining from underwriting new ones. Additionally, many insurers are now imposing age limitations on buildings, which contributes to a general increase in costs across the board.
Despite this challenging landscape, McGroarty & Bradburn Insurance offers a beacon of hope. Our portfolio still boasts a range of carriers willing to underwrite apartment and landlord insurance, ensuring that coverage remains within reach. Even better, we’re not just maintaining the status quo — we’re actively improving coverage options while finding ways to save our clients money.
But what can apartment owners and landlords do to mitigate these rising costs? Firstly, it’s crucial to understand the specifics of your current policy. Are you over-insured? Could you be under-insured? What have you done to reduce the chance of loss? It’s time to reassess your coverage needs critically.
Secondly, consider the benefits of bundling policies. Combining your property and liability insurance under a single carrier often leads to significant savings. Furthermore, implementing proactive risk management strategies, such as regular maintenance and safety checks, can reduce the likelihood of costly claims. Does you current agent ask you about these items? If not, they are not helping you get the best policy and pricing.
