To keep up with the needs of our ever-changing world and the different ways homes are used today, we’ve reimagined our policy forms to bring you an innovative home insurance policy.
While other insurers require you to get a new policy if you change the way you use your home, we created a flexible House & Property policy that can adapt to you. Kin’s House & Property insurance policy provides the home insurance you need no matter how you use the property. It can cover you whether you:
-
Live in your home full-time
-
Use it as a secondary or seasonal home.
-
Rent it out to others.
-
Combine all of these uses.
How can we do this? It’s simple.
The base Kin Home & Property policy has the coverages customers need when they rent out their home to others – similar to a typical dwelling fire insurance policy, or DP policy, other insurers may offer. Customers who live in their home full or part-time can add an owner-occupied endorsement so they get the coverages of a typical homeowners policy or HO3 policy.
Going forward, whenever we mention homeowners insurance for any states other than Florida and Louisiana, we’re referring to our House & Property policy with an owner-occupied endorsement.
