Landlord Question and Answer Forum

Forum / General Property Management / Rental Insurance
I was wondering if you all require renters insurance form your tenants. Is that common practice? I am a landlord in Oregon.

RE: Rental Insurance
Denise S., PA has responded to this question in an earlier post. I only demand that tenant get one if I allow pets. They MUST give me a copy of the insurance BEFORE they move in.....no exceptions. I also state in my lease that LL has insurance to cover LL and that tenant should consider obtaining an insurance policy for their protection. I also encourage them to contact an insurance agent to discuss their situation.

Feature Spotlight: Why do I need A Lease Package?

Those basic leases you can find in office supply stores or buy from online vendors can look appealingly cheap and easy, but chances are, they don't meet all of the legal requirements for binding leases in your state. If you entrust your rental unit to a stand-alone lease, you may not be fully protected, especially if you wind up in court with your tenant over a contract dispute.

By using our exclusive Lease-Builder Wizard with State Assist, you'll get unmatched convenience, peace of mind, and protection for not much more than other sites charge for a generic lease.
