We are glad to inform you that we have partnered with Assurant to make buying Renters Insurance easy and simple for your tenants! Policies also help tenants affordably meet the liability insurance requirement within most leases.
This option is only available for purchase in the USA.
Renters Insurance can be requested during the "Move In" process separately from the lease, and tenants can buy it before or after the lease becomes active.
Open the Renters page from the Property Operations left-side menu, switch to the Leases tab and choose the "Move in" option.
On the "Tenants" step, select whether you require your tenants to purchase Renters Insurance.
You can also choose whether you want your tenants to provide proof of insurance before they’re able to sign the agreement or make payments.
Please note that Assurant is currently unable to provide with Renters insurance to the following unit types: mobile/manufactured home, storage, commercial premise, room, garage. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If you don't want your tenants to purchase Renters Insurance, you can switch off this option and click on the “Continue” button to proceed with the lease creation without Renters Insurance:
You can also request insurance after the lease becomes active. To do so, open the lease and click on the “Request“ link in the “Insurance” section.
That's it! Your tenants will be required to purchase the Renters Insurance. Once they do it, you'll be notified, and the “Insurance” section will become active. The insurance request is pending before that.
Note that you cannot request insurance if the lease is in draft status or has ended.
