Florida rental property and dwelling fire (DP-1) insurance quotes

Non-owner-occupied Florida property is quoted on a dwelling fire form, not an HO-3. We run HO-3 and DP-1 in parallel where both apply so you can see which form prices better for your property.

What moves the price

  • Occupancy: long-term tenant, seasonal, short-term rental, or vacant
  • DP-1 (named perils, often ACV) vs. DP-3 (broader, replacement cost)
  • Fair rental value and loss-of-rent coverage
  • Liability limits for landlord exposure
  • Roof age, which still governs eligibility on dwelling fire forms

DP-1 vs. DP-3

The form drives both price and claim outcome:

  • DP-1: named perils only, frequently actual cash value — cheapest option, thinnest coverage
  • DP-3: open perils with replacement cost — costs more, pays more
  • Vacant or under-renovation property needs a vacancy or builders-risk form instead

Short-term rentals

Airbnb and VRBO use is a commercial-flavored exposure. Many standard carriers exclude it, so tell us up front and we route the property to carriers that accept short-term rental occupancy.

Common questions

Can I use a homeowners policy on a rental property?

No. An HO-3 requires owner occupancy. Rentals need a dwelling fire (DP-1 or DP-3) or landlord policy.

Do you cover short-term rentals in Florida?

Yes, through carriers that specifically accept short-term rental occupancy. Disclose it at quote time so the policy is not voided at claim time.
