A Short-Term Rental Landlord insurance Policy
The Proper Insurance policy replaces the property owners current homeowner’s (HO) or landlord (DP) policy. It is written as a business policy, giving the short-term vacation rental owner comprehensive coverage for their building(s), contents, commercial business liability, and business income. It also includes personal liability when the short-term or vacation rental “doubles” as the owner’s primary residence.
The challenge was quadruple use or occupancy of the properties; as most vacation rental properties are used for commercial short-term rental use, personal use, are at times unoccupied, and some have guests or tenants for over 30 days. With trademarked endorsements, the Proper Policy covers you and your property for all four uses.
Think of it as a homeowner’s policy, that will cover short-term rentals, and a business policy all wrapped into one!
It’s all-inclusive insurance that was custom-penned with Lloyd’s of London and covers the unique risks associated with short-term vacation rental properties. It’s the most comprehensive insurance available on the market today so you can have peace of mind. Offered in all 50 states.

Vrbo Insurance
Vrbo is the founding website for “vacation rental by owner” and was originally a classified ad listing service for the do-it-yourself property owner. As Vrbo grew in popularity among travelers looking to find short-term vacation rentals, so did it’s rank on 1st page Google searches. Vacation rental managers began to list their inventory on Vrbo and the rest is history. To this day, most professional data shows Vrbo as the #1 vacation rental booking website in the United States.
Vrbo insurance has never been more important. Most Vrbo property owners are not fully aware of the limitations or gaps in coverage found in homeowners and landlord insurance policies. When you entrust your property to a paying guest, you are fundamentally changing the exposure in the insurance contract. Limitations now exist for damage caused by a guest, theft, vandalism, liability and so much more. When you upgrade your Vrbo to Proper Insurance you are not only filling those gaps in coverage, but adding trademarked coverage’s tailored to vacation rentals as well.
Property Managers
More professional vacation rental managers recommend Proper Insurance to their owners. Managing someones vacation rental is a big deal and insuring it correctly is even bigger. Owners are often unaware that when their property becomes a short-term rental, traditional home insurance and landlord insurance simply doesn’t cut it.
There is now greater liability and property damage exposure. When a property is entrusted to someone else, aka, giving a guest the keys, fundamentally insurance contracts start to break down, which makes sense as you gave them the keys. There is no coverage for intentional acts by that person such as theft or vandalism, and worse, there is commonly no liability coverage as most carriers deem short-term renting a business transaction. What if a guest was injured and sued both the owner and the manager?
The Proper Insurance policy not only covers intentional acts from a guest, but it carries commercial general liability which extends off the premise, and extends over the property manager as well. This equals superior coverage for both the owner and the manager.
Why Choose Proper Insurance?
What makes Proper Insurance unlike any coverage on the market is how we have met the very specific needs of short-term rental properties. Some properties are short-term weekly vacation rentals, and some are primary residences only rented during peak seasons. Some properties are second homes only rented 4 weeks per year, and others are condos rented 52 weeks. Proper Insurance covers them all.
