Sample Letter for Request to Include Landlord in Tenant's Liability Insurance

Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request that you be included as an additional insured in my tenant's liability insurance policy. As a responsible tenant, I believe it is essential to ensure that both you and I are adequately protected against any potential liability claims that may arise while I am occupying your property. Minnesota state law does not specifically require tenants to have liability insurance; however, it is highly recommended by experts to mitigate any financial risks for both parties involved in a rental agreement. By including you as an additional insured, it will provide an extra layer of protection for you as the landlord. In case of any covered incidents or accidents within the premises, it will help safeguard both our interests and reduce the financial burden on both ends. As part of my lease agreement, I have secured a comprehensive tenant's liability insurance policy with [Insurance Company Name]. This policy provides coverage for personal liability, property damage, and medical expenses to third parties. However, by adding you, my landlord, as an additional insured, it will extend the policy to include you in any claims that may be filed against me. This will give you direct access to the policy and provide you with protection against any possible legal proceedings or liability issues. In order to add you as an additional insured, I kindly request you to provide me with the necessary information required by my insurance company. This information typically includes your full legal name, mailing address, and contact details. Once I have this information, I will forward it to my insurance provider and request the necessary endorsements to include you as an additional insured beneficiary. Having you as an additional insured on my tenant's liability insurance policy benefits both of us in multiple ways? It assures you that I am taking responsibility for any accidental damages or injuries that may occur during my tenancy, reducing your potential financial exposure. Moreover, it demonstrates my commitment as a tenant to protect your interests and maintain a good landlord-tenant relationship based on trust and transparency. In the unfortunate event of a liability claim, having both of our names on the policy will ensure a smooth claims process as it guarantees that we are working together to resolve any issues promptly and efficiently. I hope you understand the importance of having you listed as an additional insured on my tenant's liability insurance policy. I want to assure you that it is in both our best interests to secure this arrangement. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter. Thank you for your attention to this request, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
