Renting Out a Property? Your Homeowners Policy May Not Cover It.

If you own a house, condo, or apartment that you rent to others, your personal homeowners policy is likely not built for that risk. Landlord insurance is designed specifically for rental property owners, and it can protect both the property and your investment.

A landlord policy can help cover:
• The dwelling and other structures you rent out
• Furnishings, appliances, and equipment you provide for tenants
• Loss of rental income if the unit becomes uninhabitable after a covered loss
• Liability protection if a tenant or guest is injured on the property

Important to know: Many homeowners policies exclude or strictly limit coverage for property you rent out, and short-term or Airbnb-style rentals often require a separate endorsement or a different policy altogether. Before you sign another lease, it is worth confirming exactly what is and isn't covered.

At BP Insurance LLC, we provide personalized service focused on your needs, wants, and long-term goals. Our team reviews your coverage, identifies gaps, and looks for ways to save you money, so your rental property is protected the right way.

Happy Fun Friday, friends! 🍂

The first fall weekends are here: which means bonfire weather, s’mores, and… brush-fire season. On dry, breezy days, a single spark near the house can become a serious problem, and many homeowners are surprised by how their policy responds.

A few easy weekend wins:
🔥 Keep leaves, pine needles, and dry brush cleared well away from the home.
🔥 Keep the grill and fire pit clear of eaves, overhangs, and low tree limbs: and never leave a fire unattended.
🔥 Store propane and fuel cans away from the house, and keep a hose or extinguisher within reach.
🔥 Ask us about mitigation and home-hardening credits. Many carriers offer discounts for qualifying defensible-space improvements.

Many standard homeowners policies may include fire damage coverage, but limits, deductibles, and exclusions vary by policy and carrier. A quick annual review is worth it: before you need it.

Fun Friday challenge: Spend 20 minutes on defensible space this weekend, then give us a call. Let’s make sure your coverage matches the home you’ve worked so hard for.

Does your condo have the right protection?

Your condo association's master policy typically covers the building's structure and common areas : but it may not cover your personal belongings, interior upgrades, or liability inside your unit.

A condo insurance (HO-6) policy can help protect:
• Personal property such as furniture, electronics, and clothing
• Interior fixtures and upgrades you've made to your unit
• Personal liability if someone is injured inside your home
• Loss assessments if the association issues a special assessment for shared repairs
• Additional living expenses if your unit becomes temporarily uninhabitable

Not sure where your coverage begins or what limits you need? That's where we come in. Our agents help you review your master policy, identify gaps, and build coverage that fits your needs, wants, and long-term goals.

Tip of the week: Ask your association for a copy of the master policy and declarations page : knowing what's covered before a claim is half the battle.

Planning a fall festival, vendor market, fundraiser, or holiday event? A personal policy or standard business policy may not fully cover event activities, off-premises operations, or liquor exposure.

Venues and municipalities frequently require a certificate of insurance before approving an event or vendor space. Special event insurance may help protect against:

• General liability claims involving injuries or property damage
• Liability involving vendors, sponsors, and volunteers
• Liquor liability when alcohol is served
• Covered event cancellation or postponement
• Rented equipment, including tents, generators, and signage

Whether you are organizing a community celebration or operating a small-to-medium business, the right coverage can help protect your investment and your long-term goals. Coverage needs vary, so a personalized review is an important step before contracts are signed or the event begins.

Contact BP Insurance LLC for practical guidance and help identifying coverage options and potential savings aligned with your needs.

Football season is here! Before you fire up the grill, set up the big screen, and toss the football in the stadium parking lot, take a minute to think about your coverage.

Your personal auto policy generally covers your vehicle: but not necessarily everything you bring along. Your grill, TV, coolers, and other tailgate gear may fall under your homeowners or renters contents coverage, subject to limits, deductibles, and exclusions.

Hosting a larger tailgate can also raise away-from-home social host liability questions. A Personal Umbrella policy may provide an additional layer of protection, depending on the circumstances and policy terms.

And if your tailgating turns into a side hustle: catering, vending, or selling gear: that is business activity and may require General Liability or other specialized commercial coverage.

Review your coverage before game day so you can enjoy the fun with greater confidence. Contact BP Insurance LLC today!

Weekend pickleball is all fun and games: until a paddle goes missing, a bag is damaged, or someone gets hurt on the court. 🏓

Before your next match, take a moment to review your insurance:

• Gear theft or damage: Your homeowners or renters policy may offer protection, subject to coverage limits, deductibles, and exclusions.
• Court injuries: Health insurance and other applicable coverage can vary, so it is important to understand where gaps may exist.
• Personal liability: Hosting games at home or playing at a community court may raise liability questions worth discussing with an insurance professional.
• Coaching or club side hustles: If you coach, organize matches, operate a club, or use a venue for business, commercial coverage may include General Liability or other specialized protection, depending on your operations.

A quick policy review can help you serve up fewer surprises and more weekend fun. Contact BP Insurance LLC to discuss your needs.

Heading off to college this August? Whether you’re moving into a dorm or an off-campus apartment, renters insurance can help protect your new space and belongings.

A dedicated renters insurance policy can provide affordable personal property and liability protection for laptops, clothing, furniture, and more.

Starting college is exciting. We’re here to help make sure your coverage is one less thing to worry about. Contact BP Insurance LLC to explore options for your student:

Your tools and equipment are the backbone of your business : but are they protected when they're on the move?

Inland Marine coverage helps protect:
• Tools and equipment at job sites
• Materials and supplies in transit
• Mobile equipment and machinery
• Property stored off-site

Whether you run a construction company with job-site equipment or a business that transports goods, this coverage can help close costly gaps in your protection.

Our agents are here to review your current policies and build the right coverage for the way your business actually works.

Is your insurance policy keeping pace with your life?

Life moves quickly, and your insurance needs can change just as fast. For this week's Monday Insurance Tip, we are highlighting the importance of an Annual Insurance Policy Review. Whether you have updated your home, purchased a new vehicle, or expanded your business operations, your coverage should reflect your current situation.

An annual review helps ensure:
- You are not paying for coverage you no longer need.
- Your asset values are accurately updated to prevent being underinsured.
- You are taking advantage of new discounts or credits available in the market.
- Your policy limits align with your long-term financial goals.

At BP Insurance LLC, we specialize in walking you through your coverages to ensure you have the information needed to make the best decisions for your family or business.
