Requiring Certificated of Insurance from suppliers/vendors

As an apartment property management leader interested in protecting your property/management company/owner you are requiring Certificated of Insurance from suppliers/vendors hired to do work on your property.

In addition you should – by contract or by letter of certification –require the supplier/vendor to:
• Certify that all such employees and vehicles are covered by their Certificate of Insurance;
• Certify that any sub-contractors and/or their employees are covered by a Certificate of Insurance meeting your standards, and available on demand before they enter your property;
• Require that all workers on your property are US citizens, or have current and valid greed cards or Visas;
• That all workers on your property have been screened for criminal backgrounds; and,
• That all workers on your property have been screened and are drug-free.

You are protecting yourself against possible claims and in light of Fair Labor Laws, discrimination, and Fair Housing requirements. Better to be prepared than to be sorry.

Two newsworthy articles related to resident mishaps

As an apartment property management leader—maintaining a copy of resident/tenant certificates of insurance should be a top priority…for those who own apartments, commercial and other real estate buildings/assets.

Do you require that your rental residents secure and maintain renter’s insurance? What are the policies and procedures for how your apartment property management company verifies that renter’s maintain proper insurance coverage?

Below are two newsworthy articles related to resident mishaps–and a reminder of the importance of verifying that your rental housing residents have current liability policies in place. Please share these stories with those on your leadership, leasing and maintenance teams~

Renter Leaves Items On Stove
http://www.boston.com/news/local/vermont/articles/2012/07/03/vt_cops_say_johnson_fire_caused_by_items_on_stove/

Within your apartment property management company—-how often do you check and update your insurance policy records…for those living in your rental housing communities?

Focusing on renters/tenants…how does this tie into your real estate and apartment/commercial business insurance coverage? What is required from your insurance company…regarding resident/tenant insurance? If a resident/tenant is not protected by an insurance policy…how will this impact your apartment property insurance coverage?

Would you like our team to do a comprehensive review of your real estate building insurance coverage—related to renter’s liability?
