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