Tenant Insurance Verification
Renters Insurance Verification
Confirm tenant coverage without the back-and-forth.
Property managers send tenants a branded link to upload proof of insurance. Bindly verifies coverage limits, named insured, and effective dates against lease requirements automatically.
Built for: Property managers, landlords, HOAs
What you get
- Per-unit upload links sent to tenants automatically at lease signing
- Coverage limit, named insured, and effective dates parsed and scored against lease requirements
- Property manager dashboard organized per property and per unit
- Renewal reminders to tenants before policy expiration
- Automated tenant communication templates with property manager branding
- Per-unit compliance reporting for owners, lenders, and insurance auditors
How it works
- 1
Set the lease standard once
Define your default lease insurance requirements — typically $100K personal liability minimum, named insured on the policy must match the lease tenant, property address listed. Per-property overrides handle the cases where a higher minimum applies.
- 2
Tenants get a branded link
On lease signing, your property management system or our manual workflow emails the tenant a branded link. They upload a declarations page or evidence of insurance — no Bindly account, no app to install.
- 3
We verify against the lease
Bindly's parser pulls the carrier, policy number, named insured, coverage limits, deductible, and effective dates from the uploaded evidence. We confirm the tenant name matches the lease, the property address is listed, and the limit meets your minimum.
- 4
Track every unit in one dashboard
Properties roll up to units, units roll up to tenants, tenants roll up to policies. A property manager sees per-property compliance percentages; an owner sees per-property and portfolio-wide; a lender sees the evidence packet for the units in their collateral.
- 5
Renewals nudge themselves
Policies approaching expiration trigger reminders to the tenant 30 days out, then 7 days, then on the expiration day. Non-compliant units stay flagged in the dashboard until new evidence is on file.
FAQ
- Can tenants buy renters insurance through Bindly?
- Not today. Tenants bring their own policy from any insurer; we verify it. We don't sell renters insurance because that would create a conflict between 'verifying the lease standard' and 'placing the policy.' Property managers who want a tenant-facing renters product can refer tenants to Bindly Insurance (our sister brand) or any carrier of their choice.
- What happens when a tenant doesn't upload?
- After the initial request the tenant gets three reminder emails over 14 days. If still nothing, the unit is flagged as non-compliant in your dashboard and you decide the next step — most managers escalate through their normal lease-violation process at that point.
- How do you handle policies that don't list the property address?
- Many homeowners-style policies list only the named insured's home address, not the rental unit. The parser checks for either (a) the rental unit listed as the insured premises, or (b) the named insured matching the lease tenant with personal-property coverage that follows the insured. Edge cases route to a human reviewer with the original PDF.
- Does this integrate with Yardi, AppFolio, RealPage, etc.?
