The national average renters insurance policy comes in at $18/month. But we’ve helped over 95% of residents spend less by enrolling into a master policy. Residents also have the option to get a quote online, with customizable coverages through our HO4. Or they can find, buy, and upload their own proof-of-insurance that our team then reviews.
Our program and process help ensure 100% of properties get the required coverage, for 100% of the lease term. And our master policy includes coverages for property damage, pet damage, mold, rental income loss, and more.
90% of professional PMs require residents to carry insurance on the lease, but only 41% of residents maintain compliant coverage. How do you know when a credit card expires or a resident policy lapses? At Second Nature, we built a holistic program that allows choice without sacrificing coverage. Plus, we manage certificate tracking and master policy enrollment for you.
Our master policies cover either $100K or $300K per occurrence, including fire, water, explosion, smoke, freezing pipes, overflow of appliances, and pet damage + loss of rental income for your investors + personal liability for residents for slips and falls, dog bites (all breeds), additional living expenses, and more.
Resident belongings get protection in case of damage caused by fire, water, wind, hail, smoke, burglary, and more. Filing claims is quick, easy, and online. And Second Nature Insurance Services only works with A-rated carriers.
Recently, State Farm showed over ⅓ of their losses were due to dog bite. Yet many carriers don’t offer it at all, or restrict breeds if they do. You could say they are all bark and no bite coverage. In our program, if the dog is approved on the lease, your resident has coverage for bites. Any dog owner can tell you that’s tough to get!
We manage every piece of our renters insurance program for you. Our team tracks compliance across your properties and manage any lapsed policies so you and your renters don’t get caught in a coverage gap. All you have to do is sit back and relax.
"The renters insurance program has saved us at least one staff member who was only doing insurance before. That's a whole salary."

Second Nature Insurance Services provides an insurance program with $100K or $300K master liability policy per property. The policy covers the following perils:
- Fire, water backup of sewer, drain, or sump, explosion, smoke
- Expanded: falling objects, overflow of appliances, freezing pipes, loss of rental income, collapse
- Additional: pet damage, bed bug remediation, mold remediation
- Personal liability: slips, falls, etc.
- Dog Bite liability: ($25K per occurrence)
- $10K contents coverage: fire/lightning, water, wind/hail, explosion, smoke, burglary
As a rule of thumb, some perils like natural causes, vandalism, equipment breakdown, or wear and tear are subject to warranties or homeowner insurance. You won't find many (if any) renter's policies covering these, including ours.
For resident belongings or contents, though, some are covered perils. For specific scenarios, please consult the policy or reach out to insurancesupport@secondnature.com so a licensed team member can help.
Our renters insurance program assists with negligent resident-caused damage to the home/unit or common areas. The home must be enrolled in a lease-compliant policy. Second Nature tracks and manages resident compliance to drive 100% coverage, whether through our policy or another that the resident chooses. Many property investors are able to get discounts on their own property insurance because of coverage ensured through our program.
