Here's how our partnership with Sure streamlines the Renters Insurance process
Through RentSpree, agents & landlords can notify tenants of their renters insurance requirement.
Tenants can obtain a quote and purchase renters insurance directly through the RentSpree system through our partnership with Sure.
A landlord can track the status of their tenant's renters insurance policy directly from their RentSpree dashboard.
Here's what's covered with a policy from Sure.
No matter where in the world, tenants are covered if personal belongings are damaged.
In the event of bodily injury or damage to someone else’s property for which the tenant is legally liable, there is protection with no deductible for coverage.
Coverage for personal property damaged as the result of a water backup of sewers or drains.
In the event that the property becomes unlivable, costs relating to housing and increased living expenses will be covered.
If personal property is damaged by a covered peril, Sure will pay to replace the item without deduction for depreciation since it was purchased.
Identity Fraud Expense Coverage is an endorsement to the Renters Insurance Program that helps cover the cost and time it takes to restore an identity.
Although not required by state law, a standard renters insurance policy is the only way your tenants can protect their belongings, because your rental property insurance won’t cover their personal property. It can also protect a renter from having to pay out of pocket for other common incidents like water backup damage and certain natural disasters – which helps you protect your investment.
Rental insurance for an investment property will vary, but policies will generally cover the dwelling or structure of your property, contents of the property belonging to the landlord, liability coverage and loss of rental income. Much of its coverage is similar to that of homeowners insurance, though it has unique features that homeowners insurance lacks and which account for the added risk of having tenants on your property.
The short answer is 'no'. The best landlord insurance covers the property that is used to service the rental property, while renters insurance covers the property owned by the tenant.
There are two clear differences here.
For landlords, rental insurance protects the property owner against damages not caused by the tenant.
Renters insurance cost covers the need to replace damaged items that belong to the tenant. If your tenant's apartment is damaged by natural causes or if your unit is burglarized, the tenant can claim reimbursement on the actual cash value of the items damaged or stolen.
We'll keep it short and sweet. Renters Insurance is usually an inexpensive way to protect a tenant's personal belongings against things that are outside their control.
