Home Tenant Insurance

SELF STORAGE TENANT INSURANCE PROGRAM

We understand that the personal property you store in your storage unit is valuable and important to you. However, our storage facility is not responsible for property stored at our facility. That is why our lease requires that each tenant maintain insurance coverage on their stored property. Some, but not all, homeowners’ and renters’ insurance policies cover property stored in self-storage facilities. You should contact your insurance agent to confirm whether your insurance policy will cover the property you store at our facility, and ask your agent about applicable policy deductibles and exclusions.

As a convenience, we make available to our tenants a Self Storage Tenant Insurance Program administered by Xercor Insurance Services LLC. This insurance coverage satisfies your lease obligations, and premiums are collected monthly when you pay the rent for your storage unit. The Self Storage Tenant Insurance Program is underwritten by one of the most reputable carriers in the marketplace. The owner of the storage facility receives a fixed portion of each monthly insurance premium. The owner of the storage facility has retained the management services of SKS Management, LLC, “Operator”. Operator assists Xercor Insurance Services, LLC in enrolling tenants in its insurance program and collecting the monthly premium. Xercor has the sole authority to compromise, pay or deny tenant insurance claims. The outcome of a tenant insurance claim has absolutely no effect on the income of owner or Operator.

Again, you are not required to purchase insurance through Xercor Program, but you are required to maintain insurance. Please see below for answers to Frequently Asked Questions about Xercor’s Self Storage Tenant Insurance Program.
