Property Owners General Liability Insurance

Liability coverage for eligible apartment owners and shopping-center lessors. Defense costs count toward the policy limit.

Subject to underwriting and availability by jurisdiction. A coverage discussion does not bind insurance.

Property Owners General Liability addresses covered claims when someone outside your business is injured on your premises or alleges damage to their property. This offering is for apartment owners and shopping-center lessors. It includes covered legal defense costs, which reduce the amount of the policy limit available to pay claims.

What the Policy Covers

Third-Party Injury Claims
Coverage for covered bodily-injury claims from people outside your business arising from the insured premises, subject to the policy terms and exclusions.
Third-Party Property Damage
Protection against covered claims alleging damage to another person's property. This does not replace insurance for your own building or contents.
Legal Defense
Covered defense costs count toward the policy limit. For apartments, the deductible also applies to defense costs.

Optional Coverage

These options are not automatically included. Availability, limits and additional premiums depend on the selections and terms of the issued policy.

Assault and Battery

Elect coverage with a $25,000 per-claim and $25,000 annual limit, including defense costs. Assault and battery is excluded when this option is declined.

Sewer and Drain Backup Liability

Add liability coverage for covered sewer and drain backup claims, with the option priced by the number of premises.

Additional Insureds and Policy Additions

Select available no-charge additions for eligible named parties, including additional insureds, primary and non-contributory wording, and waiver of recovery rights. The selected endorsement determines the protection provided.

FAQ

Apartment owners and shopping-center lessors can apply. Apartments may be garden-style, mid-rise, or high-rise. Shopping centers may be enclosed or open-air and must have at least five units. Other business types are outside this offering's current appetite.
Covered defense costs count toward and reduce the policy limit, leaving less available for other covered claim payments. Apartment deductibles also apply to defense costs. Consider this when choosing your limit and deductible.
Apartment occurrence limits range from $300,000 to $2 million. Shopping centers have paired occurrence and aggregate options, from $300,000/$600,000 through $5 million/$10 million. The available choices depend on the property segment.
Apartment deductibles range from $2,500 to $25,000 and apply to defense costs too. At an apartment deductible of $5,000 or more, no medical payments remain after the deductible. Shopping-center options range from no deductible to $5,000 per bodily-injury claim.
No. It is a priced option with a $25,000 per-claim and annual limit, including defense. Declining it results in an assault and battery exclusion. Review this choice alongside your property's exposures.
No. A quote is subject to eligibility, policy terms, and any requirements that must be met before binding. For example, apartment properties with pools must provide pool safety photos before coverage starts.
