Insurance Information

Many homeowners policies view renting a home as a commercial activity and as such, will not cover situations that may arise during a rental such as theft, damage or personal liability. These exceptions may open owners up to undesirable and unanticipated liability. This is why Marquis partnered with Safely to offer owners property protection for properties being used as vacation rentals: StayMarquis “StayProtected Program”

To obtain a homeowners insurance policy that provides owners with the proper protections in the event of short-term renting, we recommend speaking with Proper Insure (https://www.proper.insure/).
