Are renters in Rappahannock County required to obtain renter's insurance?
The Commonwealth of Virginia does not require that tenants in Rappahannock County to pay for a renter's insurance policy. However, leases prepared by our property managers require that tenants purchase a renter's insurance policy to cover losses of the tenant's personal property due to theft, fire, tenant negligence, or if someone is injured at the property. A’s insurance policy protects the rental property from loss, but not the renter’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.
