Renter's Insurance

Walnut Capital Management requires all residents to obtain and maintain evidence of liability insurance throughout the term of your lease, including lease renewals. Prior to your move-in, you are required to purchase and maintain Renters Insurance with minimum liability coverage of at least $100,000. As a reminder, we do not carry insurance to protect you against loss of your personal property. WHAT STEPS DO YOU NEED TO TAKE?

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE RENTERS INSURANCE: If your current policy provides for at least $100,000 of liability, you are set! Simply email or send your policy declarations page to the leasing office on your move in date. The insurance declaration page should contain the policy effective date, coverage amounts, policy number, and expiration date.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE RENTERS INSURANCE: We recommend you visit our preferred vendor www.ResidentShield.com for a quote and to obtain coverage, or you may secure your coverage elsewhere. You can also purchase personal contents insurance for a small additional fee. To enroll in the ResidentShield plan, feel free to visit the website above or contact the ResidentShield customer service team at 1-800-566-1186. Coverage can begin with ResidentShield immediately, and our office will receive an automatic notification of your online policy purchase.

Understanding Your Landlord Required Tenant Liability Policy

• This policy ONLY provides liability coverage for the apartment community in case of resident- caused damage or loss
• It DOES NOT provide coverage for the residents personal items or belongings
• The apartment community is listed as the Primary Named Insured and all policy interactions are the responsibility of the apartment management staff
• Once you are enrolled, you will be listed as an additional insured on the landlords policy
• The cost for this insurance will be charged and paid with your monthly rent
