On-campus, off-campus, conventional, and university-affiliated operations should be described accurately.

Frequently asked questions
Is student housing insured the same way as a conventional apartment complex?
Not automatically. Leasing structure, turnover, furnished property, resident profile, events, security, transportation, and university relationships can change the exposure.
Why does the annual turnover schedule matter?
A compressed move-out, repair, and move-in period can increase maintenance activity, contractor use, vacant units, key control, and pressure to complete work quickly.
Coverage descriptions are general. Eligibility, availability, limits, deductibles, valuation, exclusions, and policy terms vary by operation and insurance market. Actual policy documents control.
