As a landlord in New York, it’s important to get protected by landlord insurance to prepare for the unexpected. The state is known for its competitive and expensive real estate market. Thankfully, New York doesn’t experience as many natural disasters as other states in the nation. However, getting landlord insurance will protect you from certain liabilities, such as a tenant slipping on your stairs.
