Rentec Direct is pleased to introduce the launch of significant enhancements to its landlord insurance management tools, designed to help ensure that landlords and investors have current and adequate protection for their investment property and personal interests.
Owning, managing, and investing in rental properties all have their share of pros, cons, potential risks, and rewards. Ensuring that these investments are adequately protected not only protects you and your assets, but is most often a requirement from lenders and as a landlord.
Rentec Direct and Steadily, a leading landlord insurance provider, have partnered since 2021 to offer landlords a seamless integration, providing a convenient way to obtain affordable landlord insurance that protects both properties and owners. Due to this integration and the hard work of your Rentec Direct Development Team, we’ve recently rolled out powerful new enhancements that make obtaining quotes, purchasing insurance, tracking insurance status, and managing your property insurance easier than ever.
What You Can Expect With the New Landlord Insurance Enhancements
Dedicated Insurance Information Field: A new section has been added to each property profile to log your insurance details. Previously, we offered a location to enter your policy number, but we’ve expanded it to allow you to save more details, including: Carrier, Policy Number, Limits, and Start and End Dates. If you happen to get your policy via our Steadily integration, Steadily will send us information to automatically update these values for you on every renewal, saving you manual entry and automatically keeping your records up to date.
Instant Quote Feature: With a valid property address, navigate to the insurance section to view an instant quote that automatically updates when key property details, such as square footage, number of bedrooms, or bathrooms, are changed. Just click “Get Quote” to proceed.
Automated Information Display: Property insurance information will now automatically appear on all Property Info Cards, providing quick and easy access to critical policy details at a glance.
New Property Insurance Report: A New Property Insurance Report enables you to effortlessly track the status of all your property insurance policies using various options to customize the report.
Enhanced Property Filter: A new property filter is now available, enabling you to view a list of properties by Insurance Expired quickly, Insurance Expires Soon, or No Insurance, ensuring you stay ahead of renewals.
Program Default: Prefer not to see an automatically calculated quote from Steadily on the Property Page? Just turn off the new option in the General Preferences of your Program Defaults.
