As a property owner, am I required to carry insurance on my unit even though it is tenanted?

Owners are expected to maintain insurance on their properties, even if tenanted. It is important to check with your insurance broker and Property Manager to ensure that you are sufficient coverage. In addition, tenants are asked to insure their belongings and maintain liability insurance. While we strongly recommend all tenants carry insurance, this request cannot be enforced by law.

What determines the value of my rental property?

Ultimately, the rental market dictates the value of your rental property. It fluctuates depending on current market conditions and availability. We offer a detailed market analysis and work with you to optimize your rent based on your goals.
