Industrial & Warehouse Property Insurance

Occupancy, vacancy, and the tenant's stock: who insures what in an industrial lease.

Occupancy is everything

The same building rates 2× as chemical storage vs. dry goods. Know your tenant's operations and disclose them.

  • Hazard classification by ISO occupancy code
  • Tenant operations warranty in the lease
  • Annual re-inspection when tenants change

Vacancy

Property forms cut coverage (vandalism, water damage, theft) after 30–60 days vacant, and reduce all other losses by 15%.

  • Vacancy permit endorsement for lease-up periods
  • Protective safeguards: keep utilities and alarms on

Landlord vs. tenant

The lease determines it, and your policy must match.

  • Landlord: building, rents, ordinance or law
  • Tenant: stock, equipment, tenant improvements, GL
  • Waiver of subrogation both ways

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need equipment breakdown for a shell building?

Yes for HVAC, electrical distribution, and dock equipment. It's inexpensive.

Is a tenant's chemical spill my problem?

Yes — the property owner is a potentially responsible party. Premises pollution liability is recommended.

What about railcar or truck court exposure?

Premises GL covers it; require tenant hired/non-owned auto and contractual indemnity.
