Risk exposure

Where Apartment Owners Face the Greatest Risk

The most common and costly exposures facing apartment building owners—and where standard insurance policies often leave critical protection gaps.

High exposure
Medium exposure
Emerging Risk
Water damage
Critical
Plumbing failures are the single leading cause of multi-unit property claims. One burst pipe can cascade across several floors and displace multiple tenants.
95 / 100
Tenant liability
High
Slip-and-falls in stairwells, parking lots, and common areas create consistent claim exposure. A single lawsuit can quickly exceed standard liability limits.
80 / 100
Fire & smoke
High
Kitchen or electrical fires can displace entire buildings and trigger months of lost rental income. Smoke damage alone often costs more than the fire itself.
72 / 100
Rental income loss
Medium
Even a 4–6 week vacancy during repairs creates serious cash flow strain on leveraged properties. Most landlords underestimate how quickly it compounds.
65 / 100
Equipment failure
Medium
Boiler, elevator, and HVAC breakdowns are excluded from most standard property policies — and repair costs are far higher than most owners anticipate.
50 / 100
Cyber / data breach
Emerging
Online rent portals, digital lease agreements, and stored tenant data create emerging exposure most landlords haven’t yet addressed in their coverage.
30 / 100
