This is a summary of the terms of a policy purchased by the Landlord. This document is informational only and does not convey any additional rights or benefits beyond that extended by the policy. The policy provides coverage to the Landlord (“Named Insured”) for “property damage” to the “insured location” by the “tenant”. It has been purchased by a property owner or property manager (“Named Insured”) to meet the minimum “tenant” liability insurance requirements of a residential lease agreement. Any claim payment shall be payable to the Landlord. Coverage only applies for such monthly periods in which the Named Insured has reported and remitted the premium to the Insurer.
This is not renters insurance. The Policy does not provide coverage for Tenant’s personal belonging; the Policy does not provide coverage liability coverage for bodily injury or property damage to others. Coverage is narrower than a personal liability insurance policy or the liability coverage afforded to the “tenant” by a renter’s insurance policy. The “tenant” is only an Additional Insured and not a Named Insured under this policy.
AGREEMENT: We will provide the insurance described in the policy in return for the payment of the premium by the Named Insured and compliance with all provisions of the policy applicable to the Named Insured and the “tenant” respectively.
DEFINITIONS: A. In the policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the Insurer providing the insurance. B. In addition, certain words and phrases are defined as follows: (1.) “Bodily injury” means bodily harm, sickness or disease, including required care, loss of services and death that result. (2.) “Business” means: (a.) A trade, profession or occupation engaged in on a full-time, part-time or occasional basis; or (b.) Any other activity engaged in for money or other compensation, except the following: (i.) One or more activities, not described in (ii.) through (iv.) below, for which no person receives more than $600 in total compensation for the 12 months before the date of loss; (ii.) Volunteer activities for which no money is received other than payment for expenses incurred to perform the activity; (iii.) Providing home day care services for which no compensation is received, other than the mutual exchange of such services; or (iv.) The rendering of home day care services to a relative of the “tenant”. (3) “Tenant” means: (a.) the “tenant” and residents of the “tenant’s” household who are: (i.) the “tenant’s” relatives; or (ii.) Other persons under the age of 21 and in the care of any person named above; or (b.) “residence employee” in the course of their employment while on the “insured location”. When the word “the” or “a” immediately precedes the word “tenant”, the words the “tenant” or a “tenant” together mean one or more “tenants”. (4.) “Insured location” means: (a.) the residence premises”; and (b.) the part of other premises, structures and grounds contained within continuous common grounds owned or operated by the Named Insured and used by the “tenant” as a residence. (5.) “Occurrence” means an accident on the “insured location”, including continuous or repeated exposure to substantially the same general harmful conditions, which results, during the Coverage Period, in “property damage” to the “insured location”. (6.) “Property damage” means physical injury to, destruction of, or loss of use of any part of the “insured location” caused by fire, smoke, explosion, water damage, backup or overflow of sewer, drain or sump, falling objects, riot, or civil commotion.

Suit Against Us:(1.) No action can be brought against us unless there has been full compliance with all of the terms of this policy. (2.) No one will have the right to join us as a party to any action against either the Named Insured or the “tenant”. (3.) No action can be brought against us until the obligation of the “tenant” has been determined by final judgment or agreement signed by us. E. Bankruptcy: Bankruptcy or insolvency of the Named Insured or the “tenant” will not relieve us of our obligations under the policy. F. Other Insurance: Coverage under this policy is excess over other valid and collectible “tenant” insurance except insurance written specifically to cover as excess over the Limit of Liability that applies in the policy. G. Coverage Period: Coverage under the policy applies only to “property damage” which occurs during a valid Coverage Period. The Coverage Period for each eligible “residence premises” shall commence upon the later of: (1.) the policy Effective Date; or (2.) the inception date of the lease agreement between the “tenant” and the Named Insured for utilizing the “residence premises”; or (3.) such later Coverage Effective Date as reported by the Named Insured. The Coverage Period shall cease upon the earlier of: (1.) the policy cancellation or Expiration Date; or (2.) the termination or expiration date of the lease agreement between the “tenant” and the Named Insured for utilizing the “residence premises”; or (3.) such earlier Coverage Expiration Date as reported by the Named Insured; or (4.) such other cancellation date as precipitated by non-payment of premium or other valid reasons. H. Concealment Or Fraud: We do not provide coverage to a “tenant” who, whether before or after a loss, has: (1.) Intentionally concealed or misrepresented any material fact or circumstance; (2.) Engaged in fraudulent conduct; or (3.) Made false statements; relating to any claim or the insurance coverage provided under the policy.
GENERAL CONDITIONS: A. Tenant is not a Named Insured: The “tenant” is not a Named Insured under the policy. The “tenant” is only an Additional Insured. Further, to qualify as an Additional Insured, all premiums must have been paid for the Coverage Period for such “tenant” and “residence premises”. B. Cancellation: The Named Insured or the Insurer may cancel the policy at any time. Upon cancellation, all coverage shall immediately cease for all “tenants”. Upon termination or expiration of the lease agreement between the Named Insured and the “tenant” for use the “residence premises”, all coverage under the policy shall immediately cease for such “tenant” without notice to the “tenant”. Unearned premium (if any) will be refunded to the Named Insured in accordance with the terms of the policy. In the event of nonpayment of premium for any individual “residence premises”, we may, at our option, deny coverage for such “residence premises” and/or monthly reporting period and the same shall not constitute cancellation of this policy. C. Named Insured’s Duty to Notify Tenants: We have no duty to notify the “tenant” of cancellation or non-renewal of the policy. The Named Insured shall notify all “tenants” of cancellation or non-renewal of the policy. D. Assignment: Assignment of the policy will not be valid unless we give our written consent. E. Subrogation: We may require an assignment of rights of recovery for a loss to the extent that payment is made by us. If an assignment is sought, the “tenant” must sign and deliver all related papers and cooperate with us. F. Death: If a “tenant” dies, we insure the legal representative of the deceased but only with respect to the “residence premises” of the deceased covered under the policy at the time of death. G. Waiver Or Change Of Policy Provisions: A waiver or change of a provision of the policy must be done in writing by us to be valid. Our request for an examination or a request by either party for an appraisal will not waive any of our rights. H. Premium Reporting and Remittance: All premiums are payable by the Named Insured. Coverage for any individual “residence premises” and the occupying “tenants” will not be effective unless we receive the Reporting Schedule and the appropriate premium has been paid for such “residence premises”. Coverage may not be backdated prior to the later of the first day of the current Reporting Month or the inception date of the lease agreement without our written approval. Failure by the Named Insured to report a “residence premises” shall be evidence that the Named Insured has waived coverage for such “residence premises” and occupying “tenants”. Nonpayment of premium for any individual “residence premises” shall be evidence that the Named Insured has waived coverage for such “residence premises”. If subsequent payment is tendered, we shall have the right but not the obligation to accept payment and extend coverage for such “residence premises”. If the “tenant” obtains other satisfactory insurance in compliance with the terms of the lease agreement, coverage for the “tenant’s” residence premises shall be automatically cancelled to such date with a return of any unearned premium.
NOT RENTERS INSURANCE: The policy is not Renter’s Insurance. It does NOT provide coverage for the tenant’s personal property (contents), “bodily injury or “property damage” liability.
