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