Landlord Risks

The rental business is full of risk. Anticipated risks like big weather events, repair needs, accidental damage, tenant carelessness, and water leaks, and hard to anticipate risks such as discrimination, cybersecurity, and personal injury. Let us help you identify emerging risks for your rental property and protect you against financial loss. At AGENCY, we partner with Millers Mutual Insurance, a carrier dedicated to understanding the intricacies of landlord insurance, providing comprehensive, stable coverage landlords deserve.

Cybersecurity Risks for Landlords

As a landlord, you collect valuable information from tenants: social security numbers, address histories, account numbers, email addresses, phone numbers, birthdates, employment history, and income figures. This information would be a gold mine for identity thieves and hackers. Protect your tenants information by adding on Data Response and Cyber Liability Insurance to your businessowners policy today. At AGENCY, we’d be happy to assist you with just that.
