What it does

The homeowners forms include a small amount of named-perils coverage (excluding theft) for landlord's furnishings in a rented apartment on the residence premises. HO 05 46 increases that amount per unit.

Who needs it

Owner-occupants of two- to four-family homes who furnish a rented unit.

Key provisions and limits

  • The base forms include a basic per-unit amount; this endorsement adds optional increases.

Quoting and selling notes

  • Theft by tenants is a separate issue; check HO 05 41 when the residence itself is occasionally rented.

Editions and availability

Editions in use and where they apply: 03 22 (41 jurisdictions); 10 00 (10 jurisdictions: AL, CA, CT, FL, GA, HI, LA, PR, TX, VI).

Section II changes affect umbrella placement. The ISO personal umbrella (DL 98 01) needs its own excess endorsements for business pursuits, home business, home day care and home-sharing exposures, so confirm the umbrella responds before relying on a homeowners endorsement for a business-type exposure.
