Policy Holder FAQ

The following is a handy list of questions and answers you may have regarding some specifics of your ResidentShield renters insurance.

While I am renting, can I cancel my liability coverage?
You have the right to cancel your policy, but you should check with your property manager to see whether you are required to maintain liability insurance as a condition of your lease.

Who do I notify to add a roommate, change a coverage option, request billing/payment assistance, or in general, just have a policy question?

If I have a claim, how do I prove that I own the items that have been stolen or destroyed?
Your claim adjuster will ask you to provide records and documents that substantiate ownership of the personal property. These can include but are not limited to receipts of purchase, credit card statements, owner’s manuals, photographs or a video inventory of your personal property. We encourage all policyholders to store photographs or a video inventory of their personal property at an off-site location.

What if I move, what happens to my policy?
If you move to a new location within the same state, your policy remains in force. Simply provide us with the new address location.

If I have a claim will my premium go up?
No, your premium rates will not increase.
