A former tenant is claiming wrongful eviction. Am I covered?
Possibly, under personal injury cover, which commonly includes wrongful eviction, wrongful entry and invasion of privacy. That grant is optional on many umbrellas and absent from some, so it is worth confirming by name rather than assuming a broad policy reaches it.
Can I just change the locks on a tenant who stopped paying?
No. Arizona requires a court process, and self-help measures such as changing locks or removing belongings are exactly what produces a wrongful eviction claim. Insurance can pay to defend an allegation; it cannot make an improper eviction proper.
Does my landlord policy already cover this?
Some do and many do not, and the umbrella above may or may not either. It is a specific grant rather than part of general liability. We will read both layers and tell you whether it is there.
