DOES KENNEDY PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES REQUIRE RENTERS INSURANCE?
No. It is strongly recommended, but not required. When making this decision please keep the following information in mind.
- Renter’s insurance is fairly inexpensive. Possibly $15 – $20 monthly.
- Most insurance companies offer discounts if you combine renter’s insurance with other policies like auto and life.
- Consider the value of your belongings. This can add up quickly (sofa, chairs, television, stereo, all other electronics, and on, and on)
- Most landlord’s insurance covers the actual building itself, not the tenants possessions. Maybe not even that if the damage is caused by a tenant.
- Frequently renter’s insurance will cover more than the on premise hazards, such as theft.
