I provided proof of compliance, and extra copies on day 1. It was required by all tenants to move in. The PM said she lost them all and then gave us all 3 days to move out or we could buy the insurance in the pamphlet she gave us, which she kept pressuring us to buy. It wasn't a matter of non-complaince. The entire complex compiled on day 1. It was a matter of being told we were all being evicted as a matter of trying to sell us a second insurance policy in the hope that we would be scared into it or unable to find the proof we already provided. 

In my apartment complex I received a notice I was out of compliance with my renter's insurance and I had 3 days to vacate or provide proof. It seemed odd considering I paid for a full year and gave them my information when I moved in. I inquired about it and the PM said that they audited her and she didn't have the info on my insurance. Then she said something that stuck me as odd, that she gave the same eviction threat to everyone. I had been in her office, it was immaculate and well kept and the records were pristine. I got a copy of the insurance but decided not to turn it in, just to see what happens at the 3 day mark. Nothing happened. I asked at day 5 if they needed it and she said she didn't need it anymore. Then I realized that each paper threatening eviction had clear instructions to buy from a specific company if they didn't have proof of insurance. Do private companies pay percentages to these apartment complexes for sign ups? Is it legal to threaten an entire complex just to sell insurance? It rubbed me very wrong.
