What happens when significant property damage threatens a tenancy? This session explores how insurance and damage mitigation funding work together, including claim eligibility, documentation and reporting requirements, tenant liability insurance, and practical steps frontline teams can take to protect tenants and landlord relationships.

In scattered-site market housing, tenant property damage and catastrophic building incidents present severe risks to tenancy retention and landlord partnerships. While program teams often rely on damage mitigation funding as a safety net, damage mitigation funding is strictly an administrative backstop and is never a substitute for mandatory tenant insurance or standard property insurance.

Led by Landlord Relations, this session unpacks the crucial intersection between residential insurance policies and the damage mitigation claims process. Attendees will gain clarity on what constitutes an insurable peril (such as fire, flood, and extensive water egress) versus routine turnover repairs, and why damage funding cannot act as an unlicensed insurance underwriter.
