Common Questions
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.
