The Best Offense is a Good Rental Agreement When getting an insurance quote for your rental business, the insurer will usually ask for a copy of your current rental agreement. (If they don’t, find a new insurance company). Why is this document an important part of the underwriting process? What is the insurance company looking for? They are ensuring that you’ve done everything possible to protect your assets. And your rental agreement should contain key elements and verbiage that reduce everyone’s level of risk. A well-written and clearly presented rental agreement creates a winning scenario for you as well as the renter and the insurance company. You win when your agreement addresses all of the contingencies and costs of operating the business. You win when customers understand and agree to abide by the agreement or the consequences of default. You win every time you avoid a legal dispute or insurance claim. |
