Antique Mall Insurance in North Carolina — What Mall Owners Need to Know
The short answer: States generally do not mandate specific insurance for antique malls, but leases, lenders, and liability exposure make coverage essential. Your policy protects the building and common areas; dealers need their own for booth inventory and liability.
Why mall owners need their own coverage. The mall's policy covers the structure, common areas, and mall operations. It does not cover individual dealer inventory or booth-level liability. A covered event that closes the mall can interrupt rental income — that's your revenue.
