@Margaret Dreesen1) You typically cannot use the SD to cover damages while the tenant is still living in the property w/o the tenant's written approval.2) Even if tenant agrees, not a sound business strategy as now you have nothing to cover possible damages when tenant moves out.3) Filing a claim on your own insurance is also business-foolish, as now your claim will track you in the insurance world for about 5-7 years and if you have another claim - may lead to cancellation or spike in premiums.4) Tenant is 100% responsible for the damages!

Good properties were typically higher than that.
