Lost rental income can be a significant financial blow for short-term rental hosts. The good news is that the right insurance can help.

Loss of Income Coverage

Many short-term rental insurance policies include coverage for lost rental income when your property can't be rented due to a covered event such as fire, storm damage, or vandalism.

What's Typically Covered

  • Income lost while property is being repaired from covered damage
  • Ongoing expenses like mortgage, utilities, and taxes during the repair period

What's Usually Not Covered

  • Guest cancellations not related to property damage
  • Market downturns or seasonal slowdowns
  • Damage from maintenance neglect

Make sure your policy's loss of income limits are sufficient to cover your expected rental revenue. Contact BlackArrow for a policy review.
