Property Management Company Insurance

Property-management companies coordinate owners, tenants, vendors, leases, maintenance, inspections, money, records, and sometimes employees across many locations. The insurance review should separate property the firm owns from property it manages and identify professional responsibilities, maintenance authority, tenant funds, vehicles, and contractual requirements.

Questions that shape the conversation

Insurance markets evaluate the complete operation. These are examples of details that can materially affect the available path.

  1. How many units, buildings, associations, and owners are managed, and in which states?
  2. Which leasing, inspection, maintenance, accounting, or tenant-screening duties are performed?
  3. Does the company hold rent, deposits, keys, credentials, personal information, or association funds?
  4. Are maintenance employees, vehicles, contractors, security decisions, evictions, or owned properties involved?
