Why investors choose the Tenant Protector Plan ®?
If you are a landlord, the The Tenant Protector Plan ® can provide coverage for tenant-caused negligent losses. In the event of a tenant-caused negligent loss, your property carrier will make you whole for that loss. The tenant liability within the TPP allows your property carrier to recover some or all of their loss payout, which can stabilize your property rates over time.
What if my tenants have renter's insurance?
Hopefully, your tenants purchase an annual renter’s insurance policy. However, failure to make their monthly payment will cause their coverage to lapse, leaving you responsible for any damages to your property that may be caused by their negligence. Our Tenant Protector Plan® allows you to ensure that coverage is in force when you need it most. In the event of a loss for which they are held liable and their rents insurance is in force, the TPP would work in excess of their liability limit. Learn more about how these two can work together here.
How much does the Tenant Protector Plan ® cost?
Cost for the Tenant Protector Plan ® will depend on the number of units insured and limit of tenant liability chosen, but is typically $10 – $15 per unit (plus taxes and fees), per month. Because of such a low cost, some investors choose to pass on the cost of the plan on to their tenants in their lease since they also benefit from this coverage.
