If our Residents do not keep up with or purchase Renters Insurance as required by their Residential Rental Agreement, OBX Housing has the right to “force place” coverage so that the Landlord is protected. Here’s how it works:
OBX HOUSING’STENANT LIABILITY INSURANCE PROGRAM
As your Property Management Company, we require Tenants to carry liability insurance. This reduces your risk of having to pay out of pocket in the event of accidental tenant-caused damage (like kitchen fires or water damage) to your property.
PROGRAM DETAILS
Tenant liability insurance helps protect you from having to pay out of pocket for repairs that are truly a tenant’s responsibility. Requiring liability insurance is a growing trend among the largest owners and operators in the property management industry.
Our company, together with App-Folio, has partnered with Great American Insurance Group to provide an easy and cost effective tenant liability insurance. If a tenant does not provide proof that they have their own insurance, as required by their lease, they are added to our master commercial policy and charged for coverage.
Our commercial Tenant Liability Policy from Great American Insurance Group covers the tenant’s liability to the landlord for damage to the leased property (limit of $100,000 per occurrence.)
COVERED LOSSES
Our Tenant Liability Policy covers only property damage for which the tenant is liable. It is not meant to replace building insurance, but to reduce your risk of having to put in claims. The policy includes coverage for:
>Fire
>Water Damage
>Smoke
>Backup or Overflow of
>Explosion
>Sewer, Drain, or Sump
>Falling Objects
Tenant Liability Insurance Policy is underwritten by Great American E&S Insurance Company; the agent/broker is Stern Risk Partners
