Are tenants in West Falls Church required to obtain renter's insurance?
The Commonwealth of Virginia does not require that renters in West Falls Church to buy a renter's insurance policy. However, leases prepared by our property managers 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 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.
