California juries are handing down million-dollar awards in lawsuits alleging rental housing providers have failed to maintain ‘habitable’ properties. Insurers, concerned that the litigation trend could spread, are adding exclusions to limit their risk. Brokers need to be aware of the impact that habitability litigation and coverage restrictions can have on client property programs. To protect themselves, property owners need to take a proactive approach to the maintenance of rental housing units and keep detailed records of that work. In addition, property owners need to be aware of the impact that potential litigation and coverage exclusions may have on property insurance policies.
