Understanding Landlord Insurance for Renting Your Home in Spain

Renting out your home in Spain, whether on a long-term basis or for short-term stays, can bring various challenges and risks.

You may not always know the reliability of your tenants, and unexpected damages can occur. As a homeowner with a mortgaged property, you’re legally required to have home insurance—also known as “landlord insurance.”

This coverage ensures you’re protected against unforeseen incidents, such as fires, natural disasters, electrical issues, and even damage caused by tenants.

Why Landlord Insurance Matters

Iberia Living works with one of Spain's largest insurers, who provide comprehensive coverage designed to protect you and your property while renting. Integral Home Insurance (landlord insurance) offers peace of mind, covering various risks associated with leasing your property.

What Does Landlord Insurance Cover?

Basic Coverage

Basic coverage protects against unexpected events like fires, explosions, lightning strikes, and severe weather (storms, heavy rain, or strong winds). This is especially crucial in today’s climate, where unpredictable weather patterns are more common.

Also covering damage due to flooding, as long as the incident wasn’t caused by negligence, like leaving doors or windows open.

Property Damage

As a landlord, damage to your home can result from the tenant’s actions.

Our insurance covers a range of damages, including broken windows, skylights, doors, and kitchen appliances.

However, general wear and tear or damages to non-permanent furnishings are not covered.

Electrical Faults

If appliances break down due to electrical faults, our coverage ensures you’re protected.

This applies to all appliances, regardless of age (though computers are only covered up to 10 years old).

Additional optional coverage for appliance breakages can also be included for total peace of mind.

Uninhabitable Property

If your rental property is damaged to the point of being uninhabitable, you could lose rental income.

With Integral Home Insurance, you can be reimbursed for up to one year of lost rental income while repairs are being carried out.

Civil Liability Protection

One of the most important coverages for landlords, civil liability protects you against third-party damage.

If someone is injured on your property or if damage is caused to others’ property, we cover compensation claims, legal costs, and more.

However, malicious acts or failure to maintain the property properly are excluded.

Malicious Damage & Theft

While damage caused by tenants with malicious intent isn’t covered under standard insurance, theft-related damage (such as broken windows, doors, or walls) is.
