Yes, it's increasingly common, it doesn't cost you anything, and it's to everyone's benefit.If the wind blows your roof off or the house burns down, the PM doesn't benefit at all.If a tenant breaks a leg and decides to sue, your insurance will protect you and the Property Manager under your liability coverage.
