Some policies do not offer coverage during vacancies or stop coverage after a given number days of vacancy. Vandalism, drowning in pools, etc. are more likely during vacancies than during occupancy, so coverage is imperative. Our lease places the tenant on notice that they need to obtain their own renters policy to cover their personal belongings. We will help you ask the right questions of your insurance agent. We have mandatory safety inspections.
Some cities require that smoke detectors be checked on an annual basis.
We do that. Some tenants have sued their landlords for being scalded by hot water while taking a shower. We check the water temperature of all of our homes and set it at a safe level. Some children die or are seriously injured from ingesting poisonous plants commonly used for landscaping in Arizona. We check for poisonous plants on your property and recommend removal or placing tenants on notice of the danger.
