What your landlord receives
Within minutes of approval, RLI emails your property manager a digital coverage certificate. It's a one-page document with a unique verification code. Most property managers recognize it immediately — it looks and feels like any other insurance binder.
Property: 123 Main St, Apt 2B · San Francisco, CA
Lease term: 12 months, starting May 1, 2026
Monthly rent guaranteed: $1,850
Total coverage: $22,200
How landlords verify
- One-click verification. The certificate includes a short URL and code. Landlord enters it on rl-insure.com/verify and sees live policy status.
- Direct contact line. Property managers get a dedicated phone number that routes around consumer support.
- Integration with common PM platforms. Yardi, AppFolio, and RealPage integrations push status updates directly into their system.
If your landlord hasn't seen RLI before
Most hesitation disappears after a 2-minute explanation. We have a short landlord-facing PDF explaining the product, with case studies from national PMCs. You can email it straight from your dashboard.
A financially guaranteed lease is strictly better than a two-month security deposit. In our first 18 months, 94% of landlords presented with RLI accepted it on the first conversation.
What you sign
- Your lease with the landlord — the normal paperwork, unchanged
- Your RLI policy — binds your coverage, sets your premium schedule
- ACH authorization for premium payments (monthly, or upfront)
That's it. Keys in hand. Next: how RLI builds your credit →
