Yes! Damage caused by a resident is usually the financial responsibility of that resident, not the property owner. To fulfill lease obligations and to protect liability risks, The Hive residents are required to provide evidence of liability or property damage insurance at a minimum limit of $100,000.

Please inform the insurance provider to have The Hive listed on the policy as an “interested party.”
