FMG’s Employee House policy is specifically designed to cover properties you own for employee housing.
It provides cover for the physical house and other structures like garages and driveways, but also includes specific cover benefits for you acting as a landlord for an employee.
This policy automatically covers your legal liability in the event you accidentally damage someone else’s property or contents, or accidentally injure someone at your property.
It includes cover for your legal liability under the Innkeepers Act 1962, for loss or damage to property caused by a guest. This policy also covers up to $5,000 for hidden damage caused over time by a leaking internal waste or water pipe.
