Lessor's Risk Insurance

Colonial General Insurance Agency, Inc. offers a Lessor's Risk Insurance program to help agents place coverage for commercial property owners who lease space to tenants. The program combines Property and Commercial General Liability protection and can be written on a mono-line or packaged basis to match the needs of retail, office, light industrial, or mixed-use properties.

Ideal Accounts and Appetite

This program is a strong fit for property owners who lease their buildings to commercial tenants. Typical risks include:
  • Retail shopping centers and plazas
  • Office complexes and professional buildings
  • Light industrial or flex buildings
  • Mixed-use commercial properties with retail and office units
Examples you might see: a small shopping plaza in California with multiple tenants (including a dry cleaner and a restaurant), or a landlord in Colorado leasing a professional office building. Colonial General’s appetite is focused on conventional leased commercial real estate where landlord controls common areas and seeks coverage for building, loss of income, and liability exposures.

Coverage Highlights and Advantages

Commercial General Liability Coverage:

  • Primary limits available up to $3,000,000 Per Occurrence / Aggregate
  • $5,000 Medical Payments included
  • Additional interests can be added for $100 each (useful for tenants, lenders)
  • Excess / Umbrella capacity up to $25,000,000 for layering
  • No liability deductible required

Property Coverage Options:

  • Basic, Broad, or Special (CP) forms
  • Building and Business Personal Property (contents)
  • Business Income and Extra Expense
  • Replacement Cost or Actual Cash Value settlements
  • Accounts Receivable, Valuable Papers, Computer Equipment
  • Equipment Breakdown and Outside Signs

Crime Coverage Options:

  • Inside the Premises – Theft of Money and Securities
  • Inside the Premises – Robbery or Safe Burglary of Other Property
  • Outside the Premises coverage available

Underwriting Notes

Colonial General places these risks through a mix of admitted and non-admitted markets depending on the state and exposure. Each submission is reviewed to confirm fit and deductible/limit options. Liability typically carries no deductible and the program permits layering with umbrella or excess policies up to $25 million. Provide complete unit-level exposures, tenant use details, and any leasehold or loss-payee/lender requirements at submission to speed placement.

Territories and Availability

This program is available in the following western states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Colonial General has extensive market experience in these states and can help you navigate state-specific placement issues.
