Message to Zahra Koch
Hi Zahra, thank you for sending your policy page. We checked it against our requirement of at least $5,000 in coverage on stored items. The amount and dates look good. The page does not say whether your policy covers items kept in storage, so please ask Delmar Mutual and send us a short note or updated page that confirms it. If you have questions, call Abigail Marshall at Otterwood Self Storage, 402-555-0162.
Message to Zane Levine
Hi Zane, welcome to Otterwood Self Storage. We require insurance on stored items of at least $5,000, with a declarations page or certificate sent to us. We have not received yours yet, and we need it by March 9. If you would like to hear about our own protection plan, please ask in the office. Questions can go to Abigail Marshall at 402-555-0162.
Message to Zora Love
Hi Zora, we reviewed the proof on file for unit A22. Your Pinebank policy ended on Feb 28, and the coverage amount was $3,000. Our requirement is at least $5,000 on an active policy. Please send us a new declarations page or certificate showing current coverage that meets that amount. We also have our own protection plan, which you can ask about at the office. Call Abigail Marshall at 402-555-0162 with any questions.

Questions for the owner
- On what date did Zahra Koch's proof arrive?
- What date do you want Zora Love to send new proof by?
- What are the details and price of your protection plan, if you want them in the messages?
- What does your rental agreement say happens if proof is not sent? Please confirm it with your lease and local rules before we add it.
- How often do you want to recheck each tenant's proof?
What it does
Explains the facility's insurance requirement to tenants in plain English, compares the proof of coverage a tenant sends against the facility's own requirement, and keeps a simple tracker of who is covered, who is missing proof, and when each policy needs to be checked again.
Use it when: Use when a self storage facility needs to explain its insurance requirement to a tenant, check what proof of coverage a tenant sent, or track which tenants have current proof on file. Triggers: "explain our insurance rule to this tenant," "does this policy meet our requirement," "who is missing proof of insurance," "insurance reminder."
