FAQs – What Woodstock Property Owners Ask About Dwelling Fire Insurance
Is dwelling fire insurance required?
If you have a mortgage, your lender may require it. Even if not required, it’s a smart way to protect your property.
Is this the same as homeowners insurance?
No — it’s designed for non-owner-occupied properties and offers different coverage terms.
Can I get liability protection too?
Yes — you can add liability and medical payments coverage to protect yourself as a property owner.
What about appliances or furnishings I supply?
We can add personal property coverage to protect landlord-supplied items like stoves or washers.
Is my tenant’s property covered?
No — tenants need their own renters insurance. We recommend encouraging or requiring it in your lease.
