As a benefit to all military residents, Hunt provides renters insurance at no additional cost. This insurance provides a limited amount of coverage for personal property and may be extended to cover the personal property owned by family members and guests while it is on the resident’s premises.

The renter’s insurance program also provides personal liability insurance. This coverage does not extend to any liability arising from the use of motor vehicles nor does this coverage extend to any liability arising from assault and batteries, and/or the operation of a home business including day care services.

Each resident is encouraged to supplement this basic renter’s insurance based upon their own assessment of the amount of property and liability coverage needed to protect their own interests. A resident’s estimated value of their property (ie. household furniture jewelry, clothing and other personal property) may exceed the coverage limits of the Renter’s Policy.
