FAQ: master policy, TLL, waivers, auto‑enrol (Canada)

• Do you support a master policy program? Yes. We can administer a master policy at the property or portfolio level. Units can be enrolled individually; charges and compliance status post back to Yardi via webhook or batch.

• Can you track TLL (Tenants Legal Liability) vs. contents limits? Yes. Liability and optional contents limits are captured from certificates or portal purchases and mapped to Yardi fields for compliance views.

• How are waivers handled? Managers can apply a waiver with a reason code (e.g., furnished unit, corporate lease). Alerts are auto‑suppressed while the waiver is active, and the waiver status can be mirrored to a Yardi custom field.

• How does auto‑enrol on lapse work in Canada? If enabled and permitted by your lease and provincial rules, non‑compliant residents receive notices and then are auto‑enrolled into the default program at lapse/move‑in. Status and charges post back to Yardi in real time.

Yardi Voyager & Breeze Renters Insurance Compliance Integrations

Introduction

Yardi Voyager and Breeze are leading property management platforms used by Canadian landlords, REITs, and property managers to streamline operations and compliance. Renters insurance compliance is a critical component, particularly for liability management, legal adherence, and risk transfer. This page details how Summit Commercial Solutions supports seamless renters insurance compliance via Yardi Voyager and Yardi Breeze integrations, including interface details, verification, and alert workflows.

Service levels (SLA)

Integration clarity: “Works With” vs. “Native”

• Summit’s connection to Yardi, Buildium, and AppFolio is broker‑administered and operates via reports, flat‑files, and/or webhooks/API. It is a “Works With” approach, not an official/native integration.

• Region: Canada (excluding Quebec).

• Request the Buildium‑specific playbook for configuration details: Contact Summit →

Platform comparison at a glance

• Verification: under 24 hours for third-party proofs; instant on portal purchases/webhooks.

• Certificates of insurance (COIs): same business day when issued via Summit’s portal.

• Alerts: standardized 30/15/5 day reminders with manager escalation and auto-suppression on renewal.

• Syncs: real-time via webhook/API; fall back to next scheduled batch if offline.

Auto-enrol on lapse (optional)

Enable a default renters insurance program that automatically enrols residents if coverage lapses or is missing at move-in, subject to your lease terms and provincial rules. Non-compliant tenants receive notices prior to auto-enrolment; status updates and charges post back to Yardi in real time.

Works with Yardi Voyager & Yardi Breeze (Canada)

Summit’s renters insurance compliance integrates with both Yardi Voyager and Yardi Breeze for Canadian portfolios, supporting flat‑file and webhook/API updates, custom field mapping, and broker‑administered verification.

Required field map (minimum viable compliance)

Map these Yardi fields to policy/compliance attributes to keep on‑platform views authoritative:

Optional enhancements (recommended): map Resident Name → Insured Name, Property/Unit → Property/Unit ID, Lease Start/End → Policy Effective/Expiry cross‑check, Insurance Status → Compliance Status, and a custom field for Last Verified Timestamp.

Proactive lapse/cancellation alerts at 30/15/5 days

Stay ahead of expiries and cancellations with automated reminders tied to Expiry Date and carrier cancellation notices:

• 30 days: Tenant reminder with renewal link or proof‑of‑insurance upload prompt; manager CC optional.

• 15 days: Escalation to tenant and property manager; task/notice flagged in Yardi list views.

• 5 days: Final notice; non‑compliant status pre‑flagged at expiry if no replacement on file.

Behavior controls: alerts auto‑suppress when renewal/replacement is posted; cadence can be configured per property/portfolio. All events sync to Yardi via batch update or real‑time webhook.

Results: compliance outcomes you can measure

• Time-to-compliance: status updates post instantly on webhook events or at the next scheduled batch sync, keeping Yardi views authoritative.

• Move-in compliance: track the share of residents marked Compliant at lease start; non-compliant residents are auto-flagged for follow-up in list views.

• Auto-enrol window: configure a pre-occupancy window to require purchase or proof-of-insurance before keys are released.

• Alert coverage: 30/15/5 day reminder cadence with auto-suppression on renewal; all actions logged to an auditable feed.

Sample alert timeline (relative to key dates)

Tip: mirror “Compliance Status” and “Last Verified” to custom fields in Voyager/Breeze so onsite teams can filter Non‑Compliant/Lapsed and action tenants directly from their daily views.

Set up Yardi compliance in 5 steps

1) Map fields: Policy #, Carrier, Effective/Expiry, Liability Limit, Insured Name, and custom fields for Compliance Status and Last Verified. 2) Choose interface: flat‑file (scheduled) and/or webhook/API (real‑time) for events like move‑ins, renewals, and lapses. 3) Configure alerts: enable 30/15/5 day reminders and manager escalations; turn on auto‑suppression when renewals post. 4) Enable tenant flows: link lease/renewal emails to the Summit portal for instant purchase or third‑party proof upload. 5) Test and go live: run a sample file and webhook event, verify Yardi updates, and confirm audit logging in the compliance feed.

Screenshot gallery: what you’ll see

While screenshots aren’t embedded here, the standard interface views include:

• Yardi Unit/Resident: Insurance section populated with Policy #, Carrier, Eff/Exp, Limit, Compliance Status, Last Verified.

• Summit Validation Feed: Line‑by‑line status (Compliant/Pending/Lapsed), source (Voyager/Breeze/Portal), and verification timestamps.

• Tenant Portal: Quick purchase flow or third‑party proof upload with real‑time status updates.

• Manager Dashboard: Filters for Non‑Compliant/Lapsed, exportable reports for audits and lender requests.

Compatibility & Supported Modules

• Works with Yardi Voyager/Breeze: Summit’s insurance validation and compliance connects to both Yardi Voyager and Yardi Breeze post-policy setup validation.

• Yardi Modules:

• TenantShield and ResidentShield: These are Yardi’s own insurance programs, embedded as additional modules for managing verification directly. They are often recommended for US clients with basic protection, but Canadian operators and those needing broker-administered customization frequently require partner integrations.

• Broker-Administered Programs: Property managers often prefer a broker-administered model for custom coverage, dedicated tenant servicing, Canadian regulatory needs, and multi-carrier quoting. These programs also support third-party coverage uploads and compliance tracking, typically not possible with native Yardi modules alone. Summit’s programs are purpose-built for Canadian portfolios.

Data Interfaces and Compliance Workflows

Field Mapping & Integration Overview

Data Flow: Tenant/Renter → Yardi → Insurance Broker/Provider → Compliance Status

• Policy number

• Carrier

• Effective/expiration dates

• Insured name

• Liability limit

• Premium/pay frequency

• Compliance Status: Updated in Yardi once broker verifies coverage.

Verification & Alerts

Voyager vs. Breeze connection notes

• Yardi Voyager: Favoured by larger, multi-site portfolios. Common patterns include nightly flat-file exports for bulk verification plus webhooks for high-priority events (move-ins, renewals, lapses). Property- and portfolio-level scoping supported.

• Yardi Breeze: Streamlined setup for small-to-mid portfolios. Lightweight flat-file or webhook triggers work well; managers often start with portal-driven proof-of-insurance uploads and graduate to real-time event updates as volumes grow.

• Both support: batch compliance updates, event-based alerts, and mapping to custom fields so your on-platform compliance views remain authoritative.
