Apartments • Habitational • Lessor's Risk (LRO)

We'll fight to win your apartment building's insurance — this year and every year after.

Habitational premiums jumped this year — and a lot of carriers won't even write apartments. We put 20+ that do in competition to beat yours, and a real broker answers when you call.

Straight talk

We paid about $300 to get you to this page, and we intend to earn it. That’s why a real broker from Johal Insurance Brokers will call you back within one hour of submission. You won’t get a hundred calls from random brokers. You’ll get one call from us, and we’ll handle everything start to finish. Let’s get you saving on your property. Drop your info to the right.

How to Get the Fastest Quote Possible

If this is a brand new purchase, you can ignore this. But if you already have existing coverage, contact your current insurance company and request something called a loss run. It will be emailed to you and must be submitted when we quote. We recommend getting it now — whether you go with us or shop elsewhere, any broker will need it. This is one of the biggest things that slows down getting a property quote.

Why a broker beats a single carrier

Every name below sells you one policy — take it or leave it. We work for you, not a carrier, so we put all of them plus more A-rated companies in competition for your apartment building and make them fight over your price. Competition is how premiums come down.

What actually drives your apartment building rate

Habitational premiums have climbed hard. If your renewal spiked or a carrier non-renewed you, that’s exactly when shopping 20+ carriers pays off most. These are the levers underwriters price on:

  • Units & occupancy — unit count and occupancy rate set the baseline exposure.
  • Building age & updates — roof, electrical, plumbing and heating update years matter; original decades-old systems mean surcharges.
  • Construction class — frame versus masonry can be a two-to-three-times rate difference.
  • Tenant type — subsidized versus market-rate, student or senior housing each price differently.
  • Liability exposure — pools, playgrounds, stairs and pets drive the liability side of the premium.
  • Location & wildfire — California wildfire zones can pay three to five times more, and several carriers have exited, forcing FAIR Plan plus difference-in-conditions wraps.
  • Claims history — clean loss runs earn preferred habitational pricing.
  • Valuation & loss of rents — Replacement Cost versus ACV, plus loss-of-rents (business income) coverage landlords can't skip.

A complete apartment policy should include property, general liability, loss of rents (business income) and ordinance & law, with earthquake and wildfire/FAIR Plan considered where relevant.

Commercial property insurance costs vary widely by building type, location, and risk factors. Our clients typically save $300 to $800 per month by working with us. We shop multiple A-rated carriers, negotiate discounts on construction class, sprinklers, roof age, and occupancy, and help you avoid costly coverage gaps. See the full cost guide for your property type.

We answer when you call — and we fight at renewal

We pick up when you call. We fight for your price at renewal, not just year one. And we tell you the truth even when it costs us the sale. If your current price is fair, we’ll say so. If you’re overpaying, we’ll show you by how much.
