No city-mandated STR liability insurance minimum (since most STRs prohibited). Where permitted long-term, landlord insurance or a commercial rider is standard; Airbnb Host Protection offers $1M guest coverage.
White Plains does not set a specific STR insurance minimum because short-term transient rentals are not a permitted residential use. For lawful extended stays (30+ days), owners should carry landlord/dwelling policies. Platforms like Airbnb provide host liability programs up to $1M, but these do not replace homeowners coverage for property damage.
No specific insurance fine, but uninsured hosts face personal liability exposure if a guest is injured.
