Are tenants in Herndon required to buy renter's insurance?
The Commonwealth of Virginia does not require that tenants in Herndon to buy renter’s insurance. However, leases prepared by our property managers require that tenants purchase renter’s insurance which pays for 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 property from loss, but not the renter’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.
