How do I purchase Renters Insurance?
You can purchase Renters Insurance no matter if your landlord or property manager requires it. As a tenant, you may not think you need Renters Insurance. But you may not realize that your landlord's policy doesn't cover your belongings.
Renters Insurance can be purchased when your landlord has moved you in and in the process of onboarding. Log in to your tenant account. You will see the rental and the option to purchase renters insurance and/or sign the lease (if required). If your landlord doesn't require you to purchase renters insurance, you still can. To do this, select the lease you’d like to purchase renters insurance for, then click on the View button, and click on the Get Insurance button in the header of the lease:
