Meet PolicyProof: Simplifying Property Manager Insurance Compliance with Built-In Liability Protection

January 21, 2024 — Chicago, IL — Obie, a leader in insurance solutions for real estate investors, announced the launch of PolicyProof, a platform with tools to simplify landlord insurance verification and ensure property owners' policy compliance. Paired with Obie’s Master General Liability Coverage, the combined offering delivers customized automation, clear next steps for resolving non-compliance, and a liability protection policy in one streamlined solution.  

The U.S. has over 300,000 property management companies overseeing millions of rental units, yet many still rely on a manual process to review policies and track expiration dates. These methods are time-consuming, prone to errors, and expose managers to liability risks.

PolicyProof addresses these challenges and solves for the gaps that directly impact property managers and their owners. By centralizing compliance tracking, property managers have visibility into their entire portfolio, eliminating manual follow-ups, reducing administrative burdens, and freeing up time for what matters most—growing their business.

"PolicyProof has become an essential part of our operations," said Todd Ortscheid, CEO of Revolution Rental Management. "It keeps us informed and ensures that no property slips through the cracks when it comes to insurance requirements."

Even with thorough compliance tracking, gaps in owner-provided insurance can leave property managers exposed. For example, if a tenant’s guest is injured—whether from a slip on ice, a dog bite, or a fallen tree damaging a car—the property manager could still face liability, even though the incident occurred on the owner’s property. Obie can issue coverage for these managers providing peace of mind in the event of a claim. 

PolicyProof eliminates this vulnerability by auto-enrolling property managers in its General Liability Coverage when an owner’s policy is non-compliant. This protection offers immediate coverage that allows property managers to continue their operations uninterrupted, confident they are protected against unforeseen circumstances. 

"PolicyProof is a clear example of how technology and thoughtful insurance solutions can work together," said Ryan Letzeiser, CEO and Co-Founder of Obie. "Property managers can now focus more on running their businesses, knowing every property is either fully compliant or backed by reliable protection."
