Liability Insurance requirements and options:
The Landlord requires Tenant to obtain liability coverage of at least $100,000 in property damage and legal liability from an A-rated carrier and to maintain such coverage throughout the entire term of the lease agreement. Tenant is required to furnish Landlord evidence of the required insurance prior to occupancy, at the time of each lease renewal period, and upon request.
To satisfy the insurance requirement, Tenant may either (1) be automatically enrolled into a policy that satisfies the coverage requirements as part of the Resident Benefits Package; or (2) obtain alternative liability coverage from an insurer of Tenant's choice. The option Tenant chooses will not affect whether Tenant's lease application is approved or the terms of Tenant's Lease.
Option 1: Do nothing. The Tenant will be automatically enrolled into an insurance policy as part of the Resident Benefits Package. No further action is required. Coverage will begin on the effective date of Tenant's lease and continue throughout the lease term. Please refer to the evidence of insurance that is supplied by Elite Real Estate Services for additional coverage details.
Option 2: Buy a policy. If Tenant prefers, Tenant may find, purchase, and maintain another policy that satisfies the Landlord's requirements. The Resident Benefits Package monthly amount will be adjusted accordingly. The Resident Benefits Package monthly rate will be adjusted by the premium amount in the policy.
Please be sure that your policy meets the following criteria prior to submitting:
* Policy is purchased from an A-rated carrier
* Policy meets or exceeds the required $100,000 in property damage and personal liability
* Elite Real Estate Services is listed as additional interest
* Elite Real Estate Services address is listed as: PO Box 660121 Dallas, TX 75266
It is Tenant's responsibility to pay premiums directly to your insurance provider. If the policy is terminated or lapses, Tenant will be subject to a lease violation fee of $100 and agrees to be subsequently enrolled into the policy referenced in Option 1 above.
NOTE: The total monthly cost of the Resident Benefits Package is all-inclusive, and no discounts will be given if any element of the package is unavailable due to a lack of HVAC or another limitation at a specific property. All services are subject to the terms and conditions of the Resident Benefits Package Lease Addendum.
