Landlords tend to file the first three in one mental category, and insurance treats them as three different things. Wear and tear — worn carpet, tired paint, a range that finally quit — is not a loss at all; it is the cost of owning a rental, excluded from every policy written and correctly so. Deliberate tenant damage is excluded on most standard landlord forms, though some carriers offer a vandalism or malicious-mischief endorsement that reaches it, and that endorsement has to be asked for by name. Sudden and accidental damage — the overflowing washing machine, the kitchen fire, the tenant who drove into the garage door — is what the policy is actually for, and it is covered. The security deposit is not a fourth category and not a substitute for any of them. Arkansas caps it at two months’ rent under §18-16-304 — and that cap does not even apply to a landlord who owns five or fewer units, which is most of the owners reading this. Either way, against a five-thousand-dollar loss a deposit is a rounding error, and spending it on a claim leaves nothing for the move-out it was collected for. The practical version is to endorse for what can be endorsed, budget for wear, and stop treating the deposit as a policy.

Sherwood landlord risk is a single-family rental market with older systems in it.
Most standard landlord forms exclude intentional tenant damage. A vandalism or malicious-mischief endorsement reaches it, and it has to be requested.
A washing-machine hose or a water heater lets go and the damage spreads before anybody is home. Sudden discharge is covered; a slow leak generally is not.
Larger north-side lots carry outbuildings, and other-structures coverage defaults to a fraction of the dwelling limit that rarely fits them.
We write across Sherwood’s ranch-house rentals, its apartment pockets, and its annexed north side.
Established single-family rentals of an era whose roofs, wiring and water heaters are now all coming due together.
Semi-rural houses on generous lots, where the outbuildings need their own limit and the driveway is long enough to matter.
Apartment stock and small multifamily along the commercial spine, with the turnover a busy road brings.
Rentals near the retail crossing, convenient for tenants and exposed to the parking and traffic that comes with it.
Higher-value houses let near the golf course, where the dwelling limit and the rent are both above the city median.
