Grand Rapids, MI – Foremost Insurance Group is updating its Dwelling Fire program in California effective May 1, 2010. Foremost® is targeting standard and preferred landlord customers with new, larger discounts.

“Landlords now have one company for all their rental properties,” says Rod Ellisor, Foremost zone executive director. “We insure rental units in superior condition and also rentals with some minor problems. This new program provides significantly lower rates to customers with newer homes and those without prior claims. We’re also lowering rates on vacant homes by an average of 6%.”

Some of the changes to the Dwelling Fire program include:   

  • Owners with multiple properties insured with Foremost may qualify for a discount.
  • Homes up to 15 years old may qualify for an Age-of-Home discount of up to 25%.
  • Owners using a Property Management Company may receive a discount.
  • Landlord Association members may receive a discount.
  • Owners without prior claims may receive a discount.

Foremost is also broadening its underwriting and accepts the following:

  • Homes with open foundations
  • Multiple dwellings on premises
  • Customers who have had a lapse in coverage
