If the renter receives housing assistance, you’ll need to review their voucher payment standard to ensure the renter has a sufficient combination of housing assistance and income so that the renter’s income is at least equal to twice the monthly rent amount after the housing assistance has been applied.
For example, if rent is $1,000/month and the renter has housing assistance worth $300/month, the renter is responsible for $700 in rent and must make at least $1,400 in monthly income.
If the renter’s housing assistance is enough to cover the full month’s rent, please reach out to rentalprotection@zillowinsuranceservices.com for questions on coverage and eligibility requirements.
Rental Protection is lease insurance for landlords offered through Zillow Insurance Services, LLC (“ZIS”), a licensed insurance producer (AZ license no. 3001395092, CO license no. 721581, and NC license no. 3001614207). ZIS will refer landlords that express an interest in Rental Protection to LeaseLock Insurance Services, Inc. (“LeaseLock”), a licensed third party agent and surplus lines broker, to consider securing for their benefit such coverage, if available. Rental Protection is sold and administered by LeaseLock on behalf of one or more insurance companies. Requested Rental Protection coverage may not be available in the admitted market in your state. Such insurance companies may not be subject to your state’s insurance regulations and protections. Rental Protection may not be protected under your state’s guaranty act with respect to any right of recovery for the obligation of an insolvent insurer. Availability of Rental Protection may be subject to surplus lines exportability in your state.
ZIS may receive a fee or commission in connection with the sale of Rental Protection, but is not appointed to act on behalf of any insurance company. Rental Protection is not available in all states. If you would like information about other insurance coverage options, you should consult another insurance producer.
