Alabama DP-3 landlord checks
- The quote should match the actual rental use, not a generic homeowner profile.
- Loss-of-rent or fair-rental-value wording should be visible on the quote.
- The landlord or entity name should be consistent across quote documents.
- Wind or hail wording in Alabama can affect the deductible, roof settlement, and inspection follow-up.
Rental dwelling checkpoints
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is DP-3 the correct dwelling form? | Landlord risks are not the same as owner-occupied HO-3 risks. |
| What occupancy did the carrier rate? | Vacancy, renovation, and short-term rental use can change eligibility. |
| Is loss of rents included? | Rental income protection is easy to assume and easy to miss. |
| Which premises hazards need documentation? | Steps, railings, pools, sidewalks, and smoke alarms can affect underwriting. |
Practical note
A Alabama landlord quote should be reviewed beside the lease status, ownership name, and recent property photos.
