What should I tell an insurer about my rental?

The answer
Describe the property's location, ownership, temporary-stay activity, booking channels, capacity, amenities, management, and personal use. Answer application questions accurately and update material changes as required. Incomplete descriptions can lead to uncertainty about coverage when you need it.
A listing link may help illustrate the operation but does not replace the insurer's formal questions. Keep copies of the information you supplied.
