Livonia does not mandate STR-specific insurance, but standard homeowner policies exclude commercial rental activity; operators should carry a landlord or short-term rental rider.
Neither Livonia City Code nor Michigan state law currently requires a minimum insurance policy to operate a short-term rental, but running paid lodging changes the risk profile of a home and most homeowner policies in Michigan exclude or limit claims arising from business use. Operators are advised to obtain a short-term rental endorsement, a landlord policy with business-use coverage, or a dedicated commercial policy with a minimum of 1,000,000 dollars in liability. Michigan auto no-fault rules may come into play if guests injure themselves on the property, and an umbrella policy is recommended. Platforms like Airbnb offer Host Liability coverage up to 1,000,000 dollars, but this is secondary to the hosts own insurance and may not cover property damage. Document policy details in the rental registration file and keep proof available for any city inspection.
