Westland does not mandate specific STR insurance, but operators should carry commercial short-term rental coverage or a homeowner endorsement since standard policies often exclude paying guests.
No Westland ordinance requires a specific insurance amount for short-term rentals, but standard homeowner policies typically exclude rental activities and business use. Operators should contact their insurer to obtain a short-term rental endorsement or a dedicated STR commercial policy with at least 1 million dollars in liability coverage. Platforms like Airbnb offer Host Liability Insurance and AirCover, and Vrbo offers Liability Insurance, but these are supplemental and do not replace a primary policy. HOA covenants and condominium bylaws under the Michigan Condominium Act (MCL 559.101 et seq.) may require additional coverage or name the association as additional insured. Document coverage before hosting and keep certificates on file for at least three years.
