These challenges can set you back from continuing to grow your rental business—or cause a threat to your property business. Don’t put your business’s future at risk. Get the right coverage today with BCAA Small Business Insurance.

Don't let anything slow your rental business down

Nothing is small to a small business owner. Your rental company has taken blood, sweat and sometimes tears to build. Operating without the right insurance can put all your hard work and business potential at risk. According to research, 40% of small businesses will incur a loss within the next ten years. When your business includes renting out unique properties to a variety of tenants, things can go wrong.

Apart from finding great tenants for your vacant units, the proper insurance to cover the building, any of your property in the building, and liability are critical.

If you rent out the entire property or if it’s a building made up of several individual units such as an apartment, insurers will require a rented property policy.

Coverage for Condominium Rentals

Improvements and Betterments Insurance

If you made updates to the original condominium specifications (e.g., new cabinets, countertops, renovations), the value of these should be listed in your property coverage so they are covered in the event of loss or damage to the building.

Condo Unit Owners Contingent Liability

Protection if the strata's insurance policy does not fully cover expenses for an injury or damage on the property, and the condo unit owners become responsible for the remaining cost.

Extended Condo Unit Owners Property Insurance

Coverage for the building and property when the condo is damaged, even if the strata's insurance policy is insufficient to cover costs.
