Why this coverage matters for apartment complexes
Multifamily portfolios need an insurance program that keeps building values, liability exposures, and rental income in view. Commercial property coverage can help a business recover when physical assets are damaged by a covered event. Values, causes of loss, deductibles, and recovery time should be evaluated together.

- Fire, water, and severe weather losses
- Tenant and visitor injuries
