Are renters in Middletown required to pay for renter's insurance?
The Commonwealth of Virginia does not require that renters in Middletown to obtain renter’s insurance. However, leases prepared by our property managers require that tenants pay for 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 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.
