Covered Scenarios

  • Guest slips and falls — Liability coverage handles medical costs and legal fees
  • Storm damages the roof — Property coverage covers repairs
  • Theft of your furnishings — Contents coverage applies

Typically Not Covered

  • Normal wear and tear — Gradual deterioration isn't an insurable event
  • Guest's personal items stolen — That's the guest's responsibility
  • Pest infestations — Maintenance issues are excluded
  • Intentional damage by the property owner — Self-inflicted damage is never covered
