5. Approach Your Local Landlord Association for Group Discounts

The idea of a group discount for landlords is very simple. If you can find a large horde of rental property owners to sign up for their landlord insurance together, most insurance companies will be more than happy to offer you a discount on your landlord insurance premiums.

The easiest way to hunt for these group discounts is to approach your area's landlord associate to see if they have any package deals for cheap landlord house insurance.

If your landlord association does not offer any group insurance plans, you can also try contacting your local trade associate or chamber of commerce.

6. Choose Tenants who Can Lower Your Landlord Insurance Cost

Do you know that the type of tenants you choose for your rental property can also affect the cost of your landlord insurance premium?

If your tenants is working full time with a stable job, most insurance companies will be ready to offer you a landlord insurance policy. With a wider choice of plans to pick from, you are more likely to find a good deal.

On the other hand if you rent out your property to students or someone living on government support, you will have a smaller selection of insurance offers.

If your tenant is an elderly person or a full time housewife, you may be able to enjoy savings on your fire safety insurance. This is because they tend to be at home more often which reduces the risk of a fire breakout going unnoticed.

7. Negotiate with Your Insurance Company for Loyalty Discounts

Just like buying vegetables from your neighborhood grocer, you can usually ask for bargains and discounts from your insurance company if you satisfy certain conditions.

If you have been paying your monthly premiums on time to the same insurance company for several years, you can usually ask them to give you a discount.

If you own several rental properties and buy your landlord insurance from the company, they will usually be happy to offer you a cheap landlord house insurance. This may also work if you buy your health, vehicle and other types of insurance from the same firm.


8. Shop Around and Compare Insurance Companies for the Best Deals

Never sign your landlord insurance policy with the first company that offers you a deal. Landlord insurance cost can vary widely among different companies and time periods.

If you are lucky enough to be shopping for a landlord insurance when prices are low, it's a good idea to sign a long term insurance contract for 3 years or more. This will allow you to lock in the current low rates for your landlord insurance premium.

Currently the quickest and most efficient way of finding cheap landlord house insurance is to compare prices online. First shortlist the companies that fit your insurance needs and then call them up to discuss the details.
