Landlord Question and Answer Forum
I own a condo in a building with 65 units. I have informed my tenant that I would like him to purchase renter's insurance. My condo association is saying that I have to require that he obtain a policy -- but there is nothing to that effect in the building's bylaws. I am maintaining a homeowner's insurance policy on the unit. Can the Association force me to force my tenant to get a policy, even though it's not a requirement in New Jersey?
Thanks!

RE: Renter's Insurance
I would recommend that you just simply include a clause in their lease to require renter's insurance

RE: Renter's Insurance
You can make it a requirement for a tenant to obtain renter's insurance. I even ask for prrof from my tenants withing a certain amount of time. I also explain to my tenants that is just as much for their benefit and not an expensive insurance. Send notices if proof is not given. Then if you must send a notice to comply and start eviction as provided by your state's procedures. Once they realize you mean business, they will comply.
