Guest damage
Furniture, appliances, bathrooms, kitchens, terraces and shared spaces can be damaged during rental use.
Insurance orientation
Rental adds liability questions to ownership
BSP helps buyers and owners recognise which liability and insurance questions should be asked when guests use a foreign property, especially when local management or rental platforms are involved.
Local insurers, brokers, legal advisers, tax specialists and property managers must confirm availability, requirements, exclusions, premiums, documents and practical execution.
Service blocks
Which liability themes deserve attention?
Third-party liability
Guests, neighbours, visitors or other third parties may suffer damage or make a claim.
Safety in and around the home
Balconies, stairs, pools, terraces, slippery floors and equipment can create liability questions.
Building and complex rules
Apartment buildings can have rules for shared facilities, lifts, pools, parking and guest access.
Rental conditions
House rules, deposits, responsibility, guest use and damage follow-up should be clear and written.
Insurance cover
Not every policy automatically covers rental. Rental use, exclusions and liability limits must be checked.

Important
Insurance remains specialist work
BSP does not provide insurance advice, legal advice or tax advice. We help buyers identify insurance themes and involve local or specialist parties where appropriate.
Policy terms, local law, rental status, vacancy, renovation, liability, cover, premiums, acceptance and claim payment must always be assessed by an insurer or qualified specialist.

FAQ
Questions about insurance
Does BSP provide liability or insurance advice?
No. BSP does not provide insurance, legal or tax advice. We help structure the questions for local insurer or specialist review.
Does a standard policy cover rental?
Not automatically. Rental can affect cover, premium, exclusions and claim handling. This must be checked with the insurer.
What if a guest causes damage?
That depends on deposit rules, rental terms, evidence, insurance cover, local management and the agreements with the guest or platform.
Is property management relevant?
Yes. Local inspection, key control, cleaning and damage follow-up can influence how practical rental and claims are handled.
