Are tenants in West End required to purchase renter's insurance?
The Commonwealth of Virginia does not require that renters in West End to pay for a renter's insurance policy. However, our leases require that renters obtain 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 property. A’s insurance policy protects the rental 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.
