Are tenants in Fort Belvoir required to obtain renter's insurance?

The Commonwealth of Virginia does not require that tenants in Fort Belvoir to buy a renter's insurance policy. However, our leases require that tenants purchase renter’s insurance to cover losses of the tenant's personal property due to theft, fire, renter negligence, or if someone is injured at the rental dwelling. A’s insurance policy protects the rental dwelling from loss, but not the tenant’s personal property if it is damaged, destroyed or stolen. Please contact your insurance agent to let them know that you are putting your property into service.
