Insurance

You should advise your insurance company that the property will be a rental unit. Make sure that you have adequate property and liability insurance coverage. In order to protect your investment the amount of insurance should equal the replacement cost of the property. To satisfy yourself that you have adequate coverage we recommend you contact your insurance agent for specific details.

If your property is vacant for an extended period of time (typically 30 days or more - check with your insurance agent), request that your insurance agent add a vacancy clause to your policy. Without this clause your insurance could be invalid.

The Property Management Agreement requires the Owner to carry insurance adequate to protect all parties. We must be provided copies of coverage no later than thirty (30) days after signing the Property Management Agreement.

Owner Statements Available Online

Did you know that you can now access your owner statements online?

Benefits:

  • Concise statements covering the performance of your property for the previous month

How it works:

In order to keep your financials secure, we use a state of the art portal system which communicates with your email.
