Is renters insurance mandatory?

Beginning July 15, 2023, renters insurance is required at time of move-in or lease renewal, and must be maintained at all times during residency with The Timbers at the expense of the resident. Renter's insurance protects you from claims for property damage and physical injury caused by or to you, a member of your family or a guest while living in your home. The lease requires proof of insurance coverage meeting the minimum requirements with The Timbers named as an interested party at time of move-in. 

If you fail to obtain and maintain liability insurance as required by your lease, you will be in violation of your obligation under the lease. For more information, click here.

During your leasing process we provided a Mold 101 Guide that discusses prevention, identification, and the procedure for reporting concerns to your maintenance team. Please immediately notify the Maintenance Solution Center if you discover a leak or suspect water intrusion of any kind in your home. To revisit the guide for prevention and reporting tips, please click here.

Additionally, click here to revisit the EPA’s Lead Based Paint brochure provided with your lease packet.
