Coverage designed for multi-unit residential structures protects owners from financial losses related to perils such as fire, windstorms, vandalism, and certain types of water damage. For example, if a fire damages several units, this specialized coverage can help with repair costs, loss of rental income, and legal liabilities.
Protecting these substantial investments is crucial. Such coverage safeguards owners from potentially devastating financial repercussions associated with unexpected events. Historically, as urban populations grew and multi-family dwellings became more common, the need for specialized insurance products to address the unique risks of these properties emerged.
