Insurance

Are renters in Bridgewater required to buy renter's insurance?

The Commonwealth of Virginia does not require that tenants in Bridgewater to pay for renter’s insurance. However, leases prepared by our property managers require that tenants obtain 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 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.
