      <title>Does Landlord Insurance Cover Flood Damage?</title>
      <link>https://www.ameduriagency.com/insurance-explained/does-landlord-insurance-cover-flood-damage</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;No. A standard landlord policy excludes flood damage the same way a homeowners policy does. Flood is written separately, either through the National Flood Insurance Program or a private flood carrier, and it has to be added on purpose. If a rental property has never had a flood policy, there's a good chance the owner doesn't know that gap exists until a claim gets denied.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
