Comment posted How Do I Add My Landlord Onto My Business Insurance Policy? by mbrcatz.

Yes, you just call your agent, and give them the landlord’s name and mailing address, tell them you need to list them as additional insured – landlord. You can do it mid term.
It’s a very normal thing, most leases require the tenant of a business to name the landlord as additional insured, so don’t wig out that other people are telling you you don’t have to do it. Most landlords won’t rent to a business without it.
The cost varies, depending on the company – no set cost. Some companies do it at no charge, some charge $15, I’ve seen them charge up to $150. It’s a liability coverage, the additional insured endorsement, so it’s usually a flat fee. Your agent should be able to tell you what it is.

• call your insurance agent and talk to them about it. seriously tho, i dont know why people come here and ask questions like this when the people they should immediately contact are the ones that they are asking the questions about…..
• I don’t get it!! You’r not the owner! I live in California, (San Andreas Fault). I wanted to install a alarm, they said, as long it does touch the electric wires, it’s ok!!
• questions is, why do have to add “your landlord to “your” insurance?is that a state requirement OR federal?
• I will add a bit to mbr’s answer, which I think is very good. Yes, most landlords (lessor’s) require you (lessee’s) to add them as an additional insured (esp for liability). With that said, I would refuse to pay my agent to issue an additional insured endorsement. As someone who does this almost daily, we do not charge for issuing them. If they will not do it without a charge, change agents.
  Good luck.
• This is a very common situation and is easily addressed by requesting your agent / company to add an additional insured endorsement. It should be done at no charge, but some companies make a modest charge just for processing the paper.
  You may be interested in knowing that the standard business liability policy in use by most US insurance companies automatically includes your landlord as an additional insured if your lease agreement calls for it. Technically, you don’t even need an endorsement to the policy. Most landlords, however, want to “see it in writing” on the policy, however.

• What Happens To The Dividend Option Term Rider On A Whole Life Insurance Policy?
  The purpose of a dividend option is to purchase paid up additions or term insurance for a specified amount of time (5 years, 7 years, ect.). It sounds that you are doing the latter and are using your dividends to repurchase term insurance at your attained age. This would cause an increase in the premium cost. You might consider paid up additions. The amount of insurance would be less, but you would avoid the higher cost you mentioned.
• Need To Target Health Insurance Clients, Do You Have A Good Model?
  I don’t mean to be rude and I hope you don’t take it as such… but I think your reasoning is… askew. The whole point of marketing is to find some association with the client on an EMOTIONAL level. Then use education and numbers to make sure the association reaches them. Let’s look at it that way for a moment. First off, everybody needs health insurance. Then, if you want to sell private health insurance, the only people who will want to buy are the people who don’t have it through some other source (work, government aid… etc.) At this point, you will probably find lots of single parents who have a job and make too much for government aid, but don’t have health insurance through their work. Then, when you look at their household incomes and household expenditures, you will see why selling private health insurance is so difficult. They don’t have very much left. You have several advantages actually. Everybody knows they need it. Everybody wants it and they will search out the most unlikely and far-fetched rumours they hear, trying to get it. But they can’t afford it. Now we have your demographic target and your hook (technically called the “emotional recall cue”) Now it’s time to use the brains and the numbers. What if, instead of your psychographical data… you worked with the accounting dept. to figure out some way that LOW income people could afford your plan. Yes, I know, management wants you to recruit middle class clients. But if you change your program to accomodate lower class clients, you will actually be recruiting the people they want because government subsidy (so to speak) has thrown off your demographic net worth numbers. So, now we have our emotional hook. Amazingly simple… health care that the working single parents can honestly afford. If you can make that happen, you will dominate your industry. I promise you that they will beat a path to your door. You could have the crapiest marketing material on the continent (I wouldn’t advise it, but you could) and you will still see double digit growth rates… quarter after quarter. Your problem will be this: the risk of serious illness will be hard for your management to gamble on. They will balk at the idea… I promise that too. The question is: do you want to succeed in your industry or do you want to be a great salesperson. If you just want to sell then throw all that data and all those formulas away and work with a creative marketing consultant on a fantastic viral campaign.
• Can A Parent Have Their Married Daughter On Their Health/auto Insurance?
  Health insurance – no. The daughter is married and needs to have her own insurance or be on her husband’s.
  Auto – yes.
• What Happens To The Dividend Option Term Rider On A Whole Life Insurance Policy?
  This is a good question for your agent or customer service because dividends are not guaranteed and may have a significant impact on your policy if they change. If the term portion of your policy is dependent on dividends, then it is not guaranteed at your current premium. As you mentioned, you may have to pay more premium to keep the same amount or reduce your coverage if the insurance company’s dividend changes.
  Also, I wouldn’t use the phrase “lowest cost” because there may be a less expensive way for you to achieve the same goal. I always recommend someone who is looking for life insurance consider the opinion of more than just one source.
  Good luck
