Renter asking for my Certificate of Insurance??

[Becky Crocker]

We have a short term rental that we are leasing for four months to a business who will use it for their employees who are coming and going throughout the lease term.  They want a copy of my insurance certificate.  The request was prompted because I have a clause in the contract that limits them to just the subject property for recovery of any judgments against me and protects my other assets.  I don't think I should have to provide them with my insurance information, but also can't think of a good reason why not to.  Would you provide your insurance information?  Why or why not?

You could contact your insurer and ask them to send a letter of insurance. That should satisfy an commercial requirements.
