Landlord Approved Tenant Liability Insurance – Renters Insurance
Required Property Damage Liability Insurance: NOTICE! All Tenants are required to maintain property damage liability insurance on behalf of the Landlord and Property Manager. Coverage is required in the amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) for damage to both Landlord’s and third parties’ property with the provisions covering at least the perils of fire, smoke, explosion, accidental water discharge and sewer backup. Tenants are required to name ZPG Companies llc., as an “Interested Party”.
Such a policy shall be written not contributing with, and not in excess of coverage that Landlord may carry, and must waive all rights of subrogation against Landlord and Property Manager. It is agreed that Landlord carries insurance for its protection, and that the Tenant is not a beneficiary of such insurance. Tenant shall be responsible to Landlord for all costs of repair for damages as stated in the Lease regardless of existing Landlord insurance.
Residents may purchase Roost Renters Insurance through resident’s online portal…. Tenants may OPT OUT of purchasing this required insurance through landlord’s preferred insurance provider at any time by providing written proof of the following three items:
- Evidence of Required Insurance levels to show the Policy is in effect, when it will start & end, and who is named on the policy.
- ZPG Companies llc., must be named as an “Additionally Interested” party to the insurance binder provided by the tenant.
- The Tenant Liability coverage has to be equal to or greater than: $100,000 in Tenant Liability Coverage to the Property.
Cost through Roost Renters Insurance is dependent on coverage amounts – usually $12.00 per month plus a $3.00 per month administration fee for a total of $15.00 per month, per home (amounts are subject to change). Tenants are required to carry Tenant Liability Insurance. Unless a Tenant Opts Out of this insurance by following the steps above, a policy will be automatically provided to the Tenant for $15.00 per month.
Using an Insurance Provider Outside of Property Manager Preferred Vendor: Tenant has the right to Opt Out of this requirement by providing adequate coverage as illustrated above and approved by ZPG Companies llc, prior to lease execution.
Failure to Maintain Insurance: If the tenant’s coverage for their independently self-procured tenant liability insurance is lapsed by either non-payment or non-renewal after lease execution, ZPG Companies llc / Appfolio will place that tenant under Roost Renters Insurance; this program by default for $15.00 per month plus a one-time $50.00 set-up fee – dependent on coverage amounts (amounts are subject to change). www.appfolio.com/onlineportal
