Tenant insurance, enforced at signing
Housing365 enforces the tenant insurance clause at lease signing, collects proof of coverage, and routes applicants to vetted insurance partners if they need a policy. No more lease clauses that exist only on paper.
What goes wrong when tenant insurance is optional
Clauses that never get enforced
Many leases require tenant insurance, but fewer than half of owners actually collect proof. The clause becomes decorative.
Condo boards chase the landlord
When a tenant floods the unit below, the condo corporation chargeback hits the landlord - whose insurance deductible then spikes for years.
Liability exposure on shared systems
In multi-unit buildings, a tenant-caused fire or leak can generate claims far beyond the tenant's ability to pay - unless they carry adequate liability coverage.
Tenants buy the wrong product or none at all
Without guidance, tenants pick minimum-deductible policies that do not actually cover the risks the lease is worried about.
How Housing365 coordinates tenant insurance
Tenant insurance is treated as a gating requirement at lease signing, not an afterthought. We enforce the clause, collect the policy, and verify the coverage matches what the lease asks for.
Lease clause enforcement
Tenant insurance requirement drafted into the lease rider with minimum liability coverage amount and proof-of-coverage deadline.
Proof collection at signing

Coverage verification
We check that the policy includes tenant contents, personal liability (typically $1M-$2M), and any landlord-required additional insured language.
Renewal tracking
Policy expiry dates tracked in the portal; tenant reminded before expiry.
