The moment you rent out a property, whether it is for commercial or residential purposes, by law you will have certain liabilities with respect to it and the people using it.
There are many possible ways in which your liability could be called to account. If one of your tenants trips over a badly maintained part of the property and results in injury, they may have a legal right to claim against you as their landlord responsible for the maintenance of the property. The list of possible risks could go on almost indefinitely.
It doesn’t end with tenants. You may be equally liable for such injuries to people visiting your tenants. If your property is commercial, your risks and need for landlord’s liability insurance is even greater. If the property has members of the public using it then the possibilities of accidents increase dramatically.
If you employ any one in your property, you need to be covered under employer’s liability cover. If any of your employees are injured or falls ill while at work, they can make a claim against you if they face a financial loss.
