Best-in-class Property Owners Need Solutions to Common Issues.

Escalating Insurance Premiums

ISSUE:

Insurance rates are currently on the rise because of increased claims. Best-in-class property owners are paying for the deficiencies of those less proactive.

SOLUTION:

By combining proprietary analytics through the initial review process and our unique coverage options, the best property owners are identified and rewarded.

Tax Exposure & Penalties

ISSUE:

Residential real estate owners are subject to unique Excise Tax Act rules. This impacts the cost of developing a new building, and when making an insurance claim.

SOLUTION:

Property owners who qualify receive exclusive coverage for the gap in existing policies due to uncertainties caused by CRA rules and MARKET VALUE fluctuations.

The Sharing Economy

ISSUE:

Whether managed by you, a professional third-party company, or individual tenants, short-term rentals or home-sharing (e.g. Airbnb) in your building could be a big issue if not disclosed.

SOLUTION:

The rental economy is changing, and our Program helps you participate in that evolution, provided certain guidelines and protocols are followed.

Tenant Insurance Enforcement

ISSUE:

Enforcing your tenant’s insurance is standard practice. However, it is a big job to manage a database of your units and request tenant insurance renewal confirmation.

SOLUTION:

Property owners covered through the Program receive access to the Cheep Insurance Apartment Protection Program, letting you include tenant insurance as part of the monthly rent.
