Property Management Insurance
Property management firms face liability and professional exposure for the services they perform — coordinating maintenance, handling tenant relations, and managing portfolios on behalf of owners — not insurance on the buildings themselves. A property manager's general liability may address certain premises and operations claims; property management errors and omissions may address certain claims alleging negligent management decisions — each subject to policy terms. The landlord's property policy, a condominium corporation's master policy, or a commercial owner's building insurance protects the property owner's interest in the structure — separate from the management company's own coverage. Premium Insurance Brokers can help align GL, E&O, and operational coverage to your portfolio, contract requirements, and whether you manage residential rentals, commercial properties, or condominium corporations.
For Windsor–Essex property management firms managing residential rentals, commercial portfolios, and condominium corporations on behalf of owners — reviewed through an independent broker who can coordinate GL, E&O, and operational coverage for how you actually manage properties.
What's covered
Property management insurance addresses the management company's liability and professional exposure — distinct from building insurance carried by property owners or condominium corporations for the structures you manage.
A visitor injury at a managed building can implicate the manager: Property managers coordinate access, maintenance, and site activity across buildings they do not necessarily own — creating premises and operations exposure distinct from the owner's property policy. Whether a specific incident at a managed location falls within the manager's general liability depends on policy wording, the management agreement, and who controlled the area where the injury occurred. General liability for the management firm is separate from the landlord's or corporation's own liability program.

Property management FAQ
Straight answers to common questions.
The owner's property and liability policies typically protect the owner's interests in the building — not the management company's professional liability for management decisions. Property managers need their own general liability and E&O coverage for the firm's operations. Which policy responds to a specific incident depends on the allegation, the management agreement, and policy wording.
