Fort Lee does not require a specific short-term rental insurance policy, but standard homeowners coverage often excludes commercial rental activity, creating significant liability gaps.
While Fort Lee Borough does not mandate a specific insurance product for short-term rentals, hosts should obtain a commercial or home-sharing endorsement. Standard HO-3 homeowners policies typically exclude business use, leaving hosts exposed to guest injuries, property damage, and liability claims. Platforms like Airbnb provide host protection insurance up to $1 million, but coverage gaps exist for personal property and certain liability scenarios. Condo and co-op boards may require proof of additional liability coverage. Mortgage lenders may also require notification of rental use.
No direct fine, but uninsured losses are paid by the host, and policy cancellation can leave the property without any coverage.
