House & Property Insurance

The way we use our homes has changed a lot in recent years. Technology has made it easier to rent our homes to vacationers, but that added risk has made it difficult to get quality home insurance - until now. Introducing Home & Property Insurance.

What is House & Property insurance?

Kin’s House & Property insurance is a new type of home insurance that we’ve designed to be incredibly customizable to fit the way you use your home.

If you rent your home often, the base policy can protect your home as a rental property. If your home is your primary residence, a single endorsement adds essential extra protection, like refrigerated food, personal liability, and medical payments coverage.

When you tell us how you use your home, we tailor the policy automatically to fit your needs. No guesswork required.

What does House & Property insurance cover?

As noted above, House & Property insurance policy’s coverage varies based on the home’s occupancy. The base policy insures your:

• Home.
• Attached structures, including garages, fences, or swimming pools.
• Belongings inside your home, such as furniture, fixtures, electronics, and more.
• Additional living expenses or loss of rental income if a covered loss makes the home uninhabitable.

Our base House & Property policies also include:

• Limited coverage for cosmetic damage to floors.
• A range of deductible options so you can balance affordability and peace of mind.

Some coverages are added on automatically if you live in the home you’re insuring. When that’s the case, your house & property policy also covers:

• Personal liability.
• Medical payments if guests are injured at your home.

If you don’t live in the home you’re insuring, you can upgrade your House & Property policy to include liability, medical payments, and a variety of other coverages.

What’s not covered by House & Property insurance?

House & Property insurance covers your home on an open perils basis. This means the structure of your home is insured for damage from any event except for those listed as exclusions in your policy. Our House & Property insurance doesn’t cover the following events:

• Earth movement.
• Governmental action.
• Illegal, dishonest, or intentional acts.
• Neglect.
• Nuclear hazard.
• Power failure.
• War or military acts.

Who is eligible for House & Property insurance?

Because our House & Property insurance is so flexible, it’s appropriate for people who:

• Live in their homes most of the year and are the primary resident.
• Rent out their entire homes for some or all of the year.
• Rent out a portion of their homes.

Our House & Property insurance is designed for traditionally built and modular homes – although some unconventional homes like log homes and barndominiums may be eligible. Manufactured homeowners, however, should check out our mobile home insurance.

• Insure your personal property for its replacement cost.
• Add liability and medical payments coverage for non owner-occupied homes.
