Coverage Options for Property Managers
Property managers face a unique combination of business, professional, operational, and liability risks. The following coverage options may be relevant depending on the services provided and the structure of the business.
General Liability Insurance
Can help protect against certain claims involving bodily injury, property damage, personal injury, advertising injury, and premises-related liability.
Professional Liability Insurance
Also known as errors and omissions insurance, this can help protect property managers from claims involving mistakes, negligence, or failure to perform professional services.
Business Owners Policy (BOP)
Eligible businesses may qualify for a BOP that combines general liability and business property coverage, and may include business income coverage depending on the carrier.
Commercial Property Insurance
Can help protect business personal property, office equipment, furniture, computers, tenant improvements, and other business property used by the property management company.
Workers Compensation Insurance
Can help provide benefits for employees injured or made ill due to work-related causes. Property managers with employees, maintenance staff, leasing staff, or administrative workers should review state requirements.
Commercial Auto Insurance
May be needed if the business owns vehicles or if employees regularly drive for work-related purposes. Coverage may include liability, physical damage, hired and non-owned auto, and other options.
Cyber Liability Insurance
Property managers handle tenant data, owner records, payment information, and online systems. Cyber liability can help address risks involving data breaches, ransomware, and privacy incidents.
Employment Practices Liability
Can help protect against certain claims involving discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, and other employment-related allegations.
Crime & Employee Dishonesty
Property managers may handle rent payments, security deposits, and owner funds. Crime coverage can help address losses involving theft, forgery, fraud, or employee dishonesty.
Umbrella / Excess Liability
Provides additional liability limits above certain underlying policies. Higher limits may be needed based on contracts, property owner requirements, or the size of the business.
Common Property Manager Insurance Challenges
Property management companies encounter a distinct set of insurance challenges that require careful review of coverage structure, contract obligations, and operational exposures.
1
Contract Requirements
Property owners, landlords, associations, and commercial clients may require specific insurance limits, additional insured status, waiver of subrogation, primary and noncontributory wording, or certificates of insurance.
2
Professional Service Exposure
Property managers provide advice, coordination, oversight, and administrative services. Errors or disputes involving those services may not be fully addressed by general liability coverage alone.
3
Employee and Vendor Risk
Property managers may coordinate employees, independent contractors, maintenance vendors, cleaners, landscapers, and repair professionals. Insurance requirements should be reviewed for the company and its vendors.
4
Vehicle Use
Even if the business does not own vehicles, employees may use personal vehicles for inspections, errands, tenant meetings, or property visits. Hired and non-owned auto coverage should be considered.
5
Handling Tenant and Owner Information
Tenant applications, lease records, payment details, owner reports, and email systems can create meaningful cyber and privacy risks that require dedicated coverage consideration.
