There is nothing wrong with having more than one insurance policy of any particular type, so long as you are not trying to seek double payment, which would be considered felony insurance fraud and comes with lengthy prison sentences.

The policy with the broadest scope of coverage would be considered primary or first position coverage. The secondary policy would not invoke unless the limits of the first policy as well as the underlying policy have been exhausted.

What is personal umbrella liability insurance?

So does that mean you cannot get an umbrella liability policy without having some primary coverage first? I am a landlord. Let's say I am not concerned about property damage or fire loss, just liability. Is there any type of insurance I can buy just for liability? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ In answer to your question, by its very nature, there has to be underlying coverage in order to have an unbrella policy. Otherwise, there is nothing for the umbrella to supplement. Different insurance companies have different underwriting requirements as to the amount of underlying coverage you much have to get an umbrella of a stated amount. Since you are a landlord, and presumably want coverage on the rental property, you may want to look into a Commercial General Liability insurance policy. It is a broad form of policy that covers an array of risks. Only a licensed insurance agent can advise you on what is best for your needs. However, since it is rental property, I do not understand why you would not want insurance on the property itself, such as fire insurance, unless the property is uninsurable. --Luke Brown
