Property Investors FAQ

Legal Liability Coverage – Property owners’ liability to cover damages where you are legally responsible. Additional options include Employers Liability and Directors & Officers insurance for enhanced protection.

Operational Responsibilities – Compliance with lease covenants through insurance, inspections, and maintenance of essential equipment such as lifts and air conditioning systems.

Unoccupied Property FAQ
