Umbrella / Excess Liability Compliance Checklist for Mixed-Use Property Managers
Require all vendors and tenants to provide a certificate of insurance showing active umbrella / excess liability coverage before they begin work or occupy space.
Verify that the UMB policy lists your property or management company as an Additional Insured (where applicable).
Confirm coverage limits meet or exceed your minimum requirements (typically $1M–$5M (varies by risk)).
Set up expiration tracking to receive alerts 30, 60, and 90 days before policies lapse.
Automate follow-up notifications so non-compliant vendors and tenants receive reminders without manual effort.
Maintain an auditable compliance history for each vendor and tenant in case of claims or disputes.
