Lower Your Risk & Liability With AssetProtect Insurance
We have a Tenant Advantage Program that reduces your risk and liability where your property is concerned. It provides renter’s insurance and renter’s liability policies that cover your property and the residents. Want to know the best part? It’s at no additional charge to property owners!
Although we give tenants the option to pro vide us with their own insurance policy, we make it easier and less expensive for them by having them auto-enroll in our policies that are designed with you in mind. They provide maximum coverage against major tenant-caused damage plus additional coverage to mitigate other possible issues.

6 How is Keyrenter different than other companies?
Watch this video describing how Keyrenter is different from other companies.
7 How can I have a successful rental property?
- Treat your rental like a business…because it is a business.
- Have a financial reserve in a separate bank account set aside for rental properties. We recommend having three months rental payments in reserve to cover the “unexpected.”
- Expect the “unexpected.” Something is going to happen at some point, it’s inevitable. Whether it’s a major repair, capital improvement, or a tenant that stops paying rent (job loss, etc.). Something will happen, and if you’re prepared financially, with funds set aside, it will not be a big deal.
- Savvy real estate investors plan on investing 10% of their rental income back into the property each year. Think of it as investing back into your retirement account. Except in this case it’s for upkeep, maintenance, tenant turnover, etc.
- Plan on maintaining the property and allowing your property manager to keep the property in good repair, looking nice, and up to a good minimum recommended standard.
- If you have an underlying mortgage, plan on being a month ahead of the rental income. For example, use June’s rental income to pay July’s mortgage payment. Doing this is simply financial common sense.
- Maintain a good liability rental investment insurance policy, which additionally insures your property manager. Often times you can get discounts by having a property manager.
- Keep the landscaping simple. If you have flower beds, remove the flowers and lay bark or rock. This will make turnovers much easier and your tenants will thank you for making their lives easier. Remember, less is more!
- Don’t leave the washer and dryer, unless it’s in an area that requires stackable. You rarely will get more rent, unless it’s an apartment complex. Often times the tenant will have their own. If you provide one, you will need to maintain it, which can be costly.
- Disconnect emotionally from the property and don’t get too attached to the flowers, or the fact that you may have lived there at some point. Remember, since you decided to turn the property into a rental, it should be treated as a business.
- Allow your property manager to manage the property. Keep an arm’s-length relationship with your property and allow the professional you hired to make day-to-day decisions on your behalf. An owner that manages the property and tenant by telling the property manager what to do, is most always a recipe for a failed management strategy.
- Be ok with not knowing all the details. Since you treat it as a business, know the key financial and performance metrics. Leave the rest to your property manager to handle.
- Remember that since your property is being professionally managed, it is subject to Fair Housing and other laws.
8 Can I store my personal belongings at the rental property?
It is strongly recommended to not leave personal belongings or equipment at the property. The exception to this is extra paint, tile, etc.
Don’t even leave a lawn more. If your tenant gets injured using a lawn more you leave at the property, you could be held liable!
9 Does my property need a business license?
Many cities require you register your property and obtain a license. Contact us for assistance with this process.
10 Should I add my Property Manager to my insurance policy?
The short answer is an emphatic YES.
SHORT EXPLANATION
If you don’t add your property manager as additional insured, and you and/or your property manager are sued by a neighbor, tenant, visitor, etc. for something related to the property, you will be required to pay your property manager’s legal fees and expenses out of your own pocket. It is much better to have a unified defense and coverage extending to both parties. That is what the property’s liability policy is for.
As the policy is converted to a rental policy, adding your property manager as additional insured will be commonplace. Often insurance carriers give discounts to owners hiring professional management, because they see their risk is decreased.
