Renter's Insurance

With some exceptions, all of our residents are required to maintain a minimum of $100,000 liability insurance while staying with us. This liability insurance typically covers damage done to the apartment or injury to a guest for which you are liable, up to the coverage limit. We also encourage you to consider protecting your personal belongings against fire, certain natural disasters, theft, and vandalism by upgrading to a Renter's Insurance policy. Assurant Specialty Property offers Equity Residential residents easy access to both of these coverage plans. Even better, all of our residents are pre-approved for these Assurant programs.
