Are tenants in Rockingham County required to buy renter's insurance?
The Commonwealth of Virginia does not require that tenants in Rockingham County to pay for renter’s insurance. However, leases prepared by our property managers require that renters pay for 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 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.
