Your lease requires renters insurance. Your software tracks it. Every unit looks covered on paper. It isn't. Over half of residents have zero active coverage at any given moment. Policies lapse quietly, cancellations go unreported for weeks, and when the grease fire or busted washer hose happens, you're the one writing the check. In this episode, we break down why renters insurance was never built to protect property owners, how RLL flips the entire model by making the owner, not the resident,  the named insured, and why this isn't just a risk decision, it's an NOI decision. We also cover the hidden risks of bundled software insurance and what "no lapses, no chasing, no subrogation" actually looks like in practice.
