Key insights
Short-term rental insurance is crucial for covering lost income if the property becomes uninhabitable due to damage, a benefit typically not included in standard homeowner's policies.
Mistakes to avoid
Using standard homeowner's insurance for a short-term rental is a mistake because insurers may deny claims if they discover the property is being used for business purposes, leaving hosts unprotected.
