PROPERTY PROTECTION PROGRAM TERMS & CONDITIONS

 PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Your Property Manager offers a Contents Damage Protection Program (aka the "Program"). This program waives your responsibility for specified accidental damage to your rented unit that occurs during your covered occupancy up to the limits outlined in your agreement. Your Property Manager is responsible for filing all Program claims on your behalf as a Rental-Guest and you may be notified in writing of any such claim. As a Rental-Guest, your verification may be required in certain cases.

As a Rental-Guest you are responsible for the cost of repair of all damages that exceeds the limit of the  Program. The amount you pay for the Program includes any related insurance, technology-support, service, and claims adjudication costs, along with administrative fees charged by Your Property Manager for making this coverage available.

This Program does not apply to intentional damage, those damages resulting from the negligence of a Rental-Guest, or damages from non-compliance with the terms of this agreement. Determination of actual damages will be at the sole discretion of your Property Manager or the Program underwriter. Security deposits (if applicable) may be applied to actual damages caused by the Rental-Guest as permitted by law.
