Tenant Insurance 101 – Everything You Need to Know About Tenant Insurance

While living in a rental home, it is important to have up-to-date tenant insurance because it protects you, your neighbors, and your community from added stress after an accident or emergency. Tenant insurance is a requirement in all of our communities so that every resident’s belongings and keepsakes are covered. Below we have outlined three major benefits of tenant insurance: Less Stress After a Tragedy In the event of a fire, flood, or theft, tenant insurance can cover the cost of replacing your belongings and repairing the damage to your home. Likewise, if you cause an accident that damages your neighbor’s home or belongings, your insurance will cover replacement and personal liability. For less money than a daily cup of coffee, tenant insurance will ensure you live stress free! Peace of Mind Tenant insurance also covers the cost of medical expenses for injured guests, accidental damage you -or your family- cause, and the cost of replacing items you’ve rented or borrowed. Instead of worrying about how the “what-ifs,” your insurance will allow you to recover from mishaps and move forward without added strain! A Small Price to Pay for Security It can be pricey to replace all of your belongings, even if you think you don’t own many expensive things. Look around your home; think about what it would cost to replace your TV, your bed, your couch, or your computer. It adds up quickly, and without the support of insurance, this entire cost is your responsibility. Luckily, tenant insurance is easily-affordable and widely-available through any major bank or insurance company. Typically tenant insurance can cost as little as $25 per month, but if you bundle it with your auto-insurance, you can get it for even less! So be a good neighbour and community-member by making sure your insurance is up-to-date! Help your community stay protected!

6 Key Questions to Ask During Your Apartment Search

Choosing your next apartment is a big decision, and having the right information can make all the difference. To help you feel confident in your choice, we’ve put together six essential questions to ask any potential landlord before signing a lease. 1. What is your application process like? Most landlords will ask for proof of income, a credit check, and references from previous landlords. At Midwest Property Management, we make things easy with our online application system—just visit the community page of your choice and click “Apply Now.” 2. What is your pet policy? Not every apartment is pet friendly, so always ask about restrictions and fees. At Midwest, we welcome up to two cats per suite with a one-time fee per cat. It’s simple and affordable to bring your furry friend with you. 3. What is the parking situation like? If you own a vehicle, ask about parking availability and fees. Some communities offer underground parking, outdoor stalls, or assigned spaces—and costs may vary. Knowing in advance helps you plan and budget. 4. What are your maintenance procedures? Before committing, find out how maintenance issues are handled. Midwest Property Management offers 24/7 Emergency Maintenance Services, so you’ll always have support—even after regular office hours. 5. Can you tell me more about the neighborhood? Whether you're new to the city or just switching areas, it’s smart to ask about nearby amenities like grocery stores, public transit, schools, and safety. Each Midwest community page features a neighborhood map to help you explore what’s close to home. 6. When can I move in? Found the perfect place? Don’t wait! Submit your application and security deposit as soon as possible. Popular units go quickly. At select communities, we also offer Early Move-in Incentives—so you can settle into your new home even sooner.
