Are tenants in Clifton required to purchase renter's insurance?
The Commonwealth of Virginia does not require that tenants in Clifton to purchase renter’s insurance. However, our leases require that tenants pay for a renter's insurance policy to cover losses of the tenant's personal property due to theft, fire, tenant negligence, or if someone is injured at the rental property. A’s insurance policy protects the rental property from loss, but not the tenant’s personal property if it is damaged, destroyed or stolen. Please contact your insurance agent to let them know that you are putting your property into service.
