The student housing market is booming, but with growth comes risk. Property owners, associations, and developers renting to college students face unique challenges, including frequent tenant turnover, short-term leases, and increased liability exposure. Traditional landlord policies often fail to address these complexities. That’s why Conifer Insurance Services offers a specialized solution: the Student Housing Insurance Program.
Why Student Housing Insurance Matters
Renting to college students isn’t like renting to long-term tenants. These properties experience higher wear and tear, and the youthful nature of residents can lead to accidental damage or liability claims. Student housing insurance coverage ensures property owners have the right protection, safeguarding investments and reducing financial risk.
