Pets

What do I do if I want to get a pet?

Most properties don’t allow pets, so make sure you get every detail about the place you want to rent.

Speak up about your situation to the Long Beach Property Management team and we may work something out.

Renters Insurance

Why do I need renters insurance?

When you have renters insurance, you get a defense against any possible lawsuits, as your policy would also pay for the damage to the building for which you were responsible, up to the policy limit. Lawyers are expensive. The aftermath of an apartment fire or a frozen pipe that you caused would be expensive. Insurance shields you from both risk and cost.
