240 Gallon in Apartment?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I read something in a landlording book about a type of insurance a landlord can get that covers the rent loss if something happens to an area that the landlord is renting out for several months up to a year I think it was. I can get that book again and find it.
Anyway, if it comes down to it then op could potentially offer to pay for that insurance so there is very little risk for the landlord.

How much would that insurance be? Do you have any idea?
 
Absolutely no idea however I can do some research and try to find it online or wait until monday so I can find the exact book I saw it in so I can look it up without guessing. I can do both if you would like.

I just found it I think, it’s called “loss of rent insurance”.
Here is a link so you can do a bit of reading about it. Nothing really in detail as it just goes over it simply enough that the general public can easily comprehend it.

Another link for ya


I’ll try to find some information about how much it generally costs for ya bud.

I don’t think I’ll be able to find a general cost as the prices tend to be a cace by case basis so I would recommend calling a few apartments that you might be interested in staying and asking about that insurance and see if you can get a quote from them. I wouldn’t expect to get a quote right then and there as I doubt that they have it normally but I’m sure they can get a quote.

I will give these a read. And I will only be filling up the 240 to about 160-180 to help with weight. I should have mentioned that above. Not sure if it makes a ton of difference but there it is. With some people saying that they only allow up to 50 gallons in an apartment, that is very disconcerning.

And thanks so much! It's very refreshing to meet someone that really does go above and beyond to help someone out. You don't lie in your signature, that's for sure. Thanks so much again.

Okay that's fine. Thanks so much for your help! And I am not quite sure where I will be moving to actually. I graduated a couple years ago but didn't enjoy the field. I need to go back to school for something else and I'm still deciding on what that will be for. But in a year I will be moving to whatever city I have to, to start school again. Give it the ol' second try. Right now I'm in a country home so I have the space and everything. But I'm really worried about not being able to find an apartment that will take me now. It is a big tank, but I have everything setup to have it built and have the Piraya bought. So I'm, not sure what to do at this point.

I believe that type of insurance applies to the landlord or whoever is renting out the place.

Renters insurance is available through pretty much any major insurance company...most car insurance companies will offer renters insurance. Ive paid as little as $12 a month for a studio in the ghetto on up to $25 a month for a house. But its usually pretty reasonable. I dont know if an aquarium would hike your premium i never tried that when i was renting.
 
Anytime comrade, I’m always happy to talk about something I enjoy such as the topic of landlording and things that relate to it.
Anyway, I would just start preparing to add another $50-100 a month to your budget in order to *hopefully* be prepared for the cost of loss of rent insurance should it come to it.

Take care bud.

Hey guys, so I'm having a 240 gallon acrylic aquarium built (96Lx24Wx24H) but will be moving into an apartment in a year or so. I am wondering, can I even put a 240 gallon in an apartment? Would I HAVE to be on ground floor? Could I live on 2nd or 3rd?
take the apartment out of the equation you would need to know where you are living first so you can see where the load Bering walls are how the joist are running. who cares if you dont own the house i rent and have 480 gallon tank like the other people told you just get insurance if when you find a place that you think the tank will work. it should be us against a load Bering wall because you will be around 2500-3000 lb. but
 
Loss of rent insurance covers the landlord in the event katrina hits and takes out the whole building. Or if the tenants disappear mysteriously. It wouldnt cover a negligent tenant destroying the property with an aquarium flood.

What you want is basic renters insurance which covers the tenant for accidents caused by the tenant.
