Common questions about rental & vacant home coverage
Arizona landlords need a dwelling fire policy (DP-3) rather than a standard homeowners policy. A DP-3 covers the structure, your liability as a landlord, and optionally loss of rents if a covered loss makes the unit uninhabitable. Standard HO-3 policies exclude rental activity.
Switching is straightforward: get a new policy bound before your current one expires, then cancel the old policy effective the new policy start date. Your mortgage lender will need the new declarations page. We handle the paperwork and coordinate with your lender.
Typically no — standard HO-3 policies exclude business and rental activities. If you rent a room or a guest house on your property, you may need a homeowners endorsement or a separate landlord policy for that portion of the home.
Arizona home insurance averages roughly $1,200–$2,500 per year, though city and risk profile move it a lot — Phoenix and Tucson metro homes often land lower, while Flagstaff, Prescott, and wildfire-interface areas run higher. Home value, age, roof, construction, pool, dogs, and claims history all factor in. We compare 12+ carriers to find your best rate.

Usually yes. Bundling home and auto with the same carrier typically earns a 5–15% multi-policy discount in Arizona and simplifies billing and renewals. We quote the bundle alongside stand-alone options so you can see the real savings.
Yes — sudden, accidental roof damage from monsoon wind, hail, or fire is covered under a standard HO-3. Note that many Arizona carriers now settle older tile and shingle roofs on an actual-cash-value (depreciated) basis rather than full replacement cost, so we review your roof settlement terms before you buy.
It can, especially multiple claims within a few years or a claim on a home in a wildfire or monsoon-prone area. Small losses you can absorb are often better left unfiled to protect your claims history. We help you weigh whether filing makes sense and re-shop your coverage if a carrier non-renews you.
