What does Fair Rental Value compensate for?

Fair Rental Value compensation is specifically designed to provide financial support for loss of rental income when a property becomes unfit for use due to a covered loss, such as a fire or storm damage. This type of coverage is crucial for landlords, as it helps to mitigate the financial impact during the time their property is being repaired and cannot generate income.

This compensation ensures that property owners do not suffer a financial loss simply because the property cannot be occupied by tenants. It aligns with the purpose of rental property insurance, which seeks to protect the income-generating potential of the property rather than compensating for physical repairs or the value of other personal assets. Fair Rental Value coverage typically considers the rental income the property would have generated had it been available for rent during the recovery period, providing the necessary financial relief in such scenarios.
