Yes, you are required to carry and maintain insurance on your personal property and belongings and proof of insurance is required before your move-in day.

Insurance protects you in the event of fire, flood, natural disaster, theft and many other possible situations. Your insurance will cover the cost of your personal belongings such as furniture, clothing, artwork, jewelry if they are damaged. Most residents under value the worth of these items but if they need replacement the costs can add up. Insurance can also provide you with temporary accommodations in the event that your rental home is inhabitable due to fire, flood, natural disaster or other serious property damage. Landlords carry and maintain insurance on the physical property or structure, while residents carry and maintain insurance for their contents and costs associated with personal property damage.

An assignment is when you assign the remainder of your lease to a new person(s). As the leaseholder you will remain responsible for the rent until the assignment paperwork is finalized; once finalized, the new person(s) is legally responsible for future rent owed.   For specific details on the requirements for an assignment, please contact your Leasing Agent.
