Introduction
Summit’s renters insurance tracking software helps Canadian property owners and managers (excluding Quebec) automate tenant insurance compliance across multifamily, student housing, and single‑family portfolios. It centralizes evidence collection, verifies coverage in real time, and closes gaps with optional automatic enrollment under a master policy—while keeping personal data stored in Canada per our privacy policy. Our privacy practices emphasize Canadian data residency and storage.
Who it’s for
-
Residential property managers and REITs operating in Canada (excluding Quebec)
-
Student housing operators and educational institutions
-
Third‑party managers using Yardi, Buildium, or AppFolio
-
Landlords requiring proof of tenant liability coverage in leases
Key capabilities
-
Integrates with Yardi, real‑time/AI verification, automatic enrollment/master policy, and compliance dashboard
-
Works with Yardi/Buildium/AppFolio via CSV & webhooks (no exclusive or official partnership implied)
-
Real‑time/AI verification: document AI parses certificates of insurance and declarations pages, validates dates/limits, and detects expirations or missing additional insured endorsements
-
Automatic enrollment/master policy: uninsured tenants can be auto‑enrolled after a configurable grace period; charges can be posted to the ledger per property rules (subject to lease terms and local regulations)
-
Compliance dashboard: portfolio‑wide and property‑level views with exception queues, audit logs, and exportable reports for lenders/owners
-
Canadian data residency: personal data and documents are stored in Canada
-
Student tenant insurance support: fast purchase flow aligned to student move‑in dates and bulk onboarding for institutions
-
Broker‑backed workflows: escalation to Summit brokers for complex exceptions, renewals, and coverage placement when required
How it works
1) Import residents and units from your PMS (or upload CSV). 2) Configure minimum coverage standards (e.g., $1M liability), required endorsements, and grace periods. 3) Invite tenants to upload proof or purchase coverage online. 4) Our AI verifies documents in real time; exceptions route to human review. 5) Non‑compliant tenants are auto‑notified; after the grace period, optional automatic enrollment into a master policy can apply. 6) Monitor portfolio compliance in the dashboard; export reports for owners, lenders, and audits.
