Do you have a place to stay tonight? – What about Renter’s Insurance?

October 27, 2017 By Robert

Do you have a place to stay tonight? – What about Renter’s Insurance?

These two questions were front and center last month when the remnants of Hurricane Irma powered through South Carolina!  We had several rental units without power and Duke could not make repairs due to big trees snapping power poles and twisting up power lines! Tree vendors were running behind as well as insurance adjusters…This all made for an unfortunate perfect storm (pun intended) for our tenant/customers to be without air conditioning, refrigeration or lighting! For several tenant/customers, this rocked on for two weeks!

With no AC and TV or internet, it can get rough especially long term!! People get aggressive and agitated! Stressed!! A regular landlord hazard policy does not cover tree or debris removal and if it came off the neighbor’s lot it is in the “no cover” zone for sure. And more importantly, it does not cover the tenant/customers relocation while all this is going on. But a good renter’s insurance policy with “Temporary Relocation Coverage” would!

Do you require renter’s insurance from your tenants? You should. Some tenant/customer’s feel that they can let their renter’s insurance lapse because they “never use it”.  Never say never. What’s the old saying? “That it is cheap insurance”. You only need it when you need it.  Make sure your tenant/customers have a relocation clause this will really help to take some of the stress out of a rough situation.

To your success!
