Are renters in Rockingham County required to obtain renter's insurance?
The Commonwealth of Virginia does not require that tenants in Rockingham County to pay for renter’s insurance. However, our leases require that tenants obtain renter’s insurance to cover losses of the tenant's personal property due to theft, fire, tenant negligence, or if someone is injured at the rental dwelling. A’s insurance policy protects the 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.
