leasehold insurance

Coverage against a lessee's loss of value from losing a favorable lease (a lease with relatively low payments) because of an insured loss. For example, a tenant with a favorable long-term lease on a building that recently incurred substantial fire damage must move to a new location that involves a much higher lease payment. Leasehold insurance is designed to cover the loss suffered from cancellation of the favorable lease.
