Is renter's insurance mandatory?

Beginning July 15, 2023, renters insurance is required at time of move-in or lease renewal, and must be maintained at all times during residency with Fort Drum Mountain Community Homes at the expense of the resident. Renter's insurance protects you from claims for property damage and physical injury caused by or to you, a member of your family or a guest while living in your home. The lease requires proof of insurance coverage meeting the minimum requirements with Fort Drum Mountain Community Homes named as an interested party at time of move-in. 

If you fail to obtain and maintain liability insurance as required by your lease, you will be in violation of your obligation under the lease. For more information, click here.
