I have a renters insurance policy with State Farm. My landlord is requesting that his name be on the policy to confirm I have coverage. What’s the best way to add an interested party to renters insurance with State Farm?

While it seems strange, this is a common request from landlords. Luckily, you can add an interested party to your State Farm renters insurance relatively easily by calling your agent.
When you contact
State Farm
, be sure you have your landlord’s information handy, including:
  • Full name
  • Address
  • Business name if applicable
  • Phone number
From there, a State Farm agent can add your landlord as an interested party. As an interested party, State Farm will notify your landlord, or any interested party, if you decide to cancel your policy or make changes.
If you have an online account, you can also check to see if you have the option to add an interested party online. Depending on your policy, you may be able to add your landlord without calling.
