Common breakdowns

Why insurance tracking gets harder across a property portfolio

Every property has its own owner entity, its own tenants, and its own vendors. When each site tracks insurance its own way, renewals slip and endorsements name the wrong party.

Endorsements name the wrong entity

Each property is often held by its own LLC. A certificate can list the management company and still miss the owner entity the lease or contract requires.

What is at stake A claim at that property can land on the owner’s own policy.

Renewals slip across the portfolio

Insurance is collected at lease signing or contract award, then each site is left to chase renewals on its own.

What is at stake Tenants and vendors keep working on expired coverage.

Owners want answers by property

Owners and asset managers expect to see insurance status for their buildings, but the data lives in spreadsheets and inboxes across sites.

What is at stake Reporting turns into a manual scramble before every owner meeting.
Property management insurance requirements

Insurance requirements by tenant and vendor type

Property managers set insurance requirements by lease or contract type, not one standard for every tenant and vendor. The owner or your risk manager sets the final limits and terms.
Tenant or vendor type Commonly required coverage
Retail and restaurant tenants General liability, property or contents coverage, liquor liability where alcohol is served, workers compensation if the tenant has employees
Office and industrial tenants General liability, property or contents coverage, workers compensation, business interruption where the lease requires it
Tenant improvement and construction contractors General liability with completed operations, auto liability, workers compensation, umbrella, and builder’s risk as the project requires
HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and elevator contractors General liability with completed operations, auto liability, workers compensation, umbrella
Janitorial, landscaping, and maintenance vendors General liability, auto liability, workers compensation and employer’s liability
Snow and ice removal General liability without snow and ice exclusions or sublimits, auto liability, workers compensation
Security and parking operators General liability, auto liability, workers compensation, garage keepers liability for parking operators

Endorsements property managers commonly require

Most leases and service contracts require more than a certificate.

A certificate can list the management company and miss the owner LLC entirely. PINS pulls the exact entities to be named from your leases and contracts, and AI-assisted review checks each endorsement against them.

How it works

One standard across every property

Requirements, collection, review, and renewals in one place, organized by property and owner.

Step 1

Pull requirements from leases and contracts

Upload a lease or service contract and PINS extracts the requirements, including the exact entities to be named as additional insured. Or use templates by tenant or vendor type, built with your implementation team.

Step 2

Tenants and vendors upload

Requests go out from your own email domain. Tenants, vendors, and their brokers upload certificates and endorsements through a secure link with no login required.

Step 3

AI checks every endorsement

AI-assisted review checks additional insured, waiver, and primary wording against the lease or contract and identifies issues, including a missing owner entity. Your team makes the final compliance decision.

Step 4

Renewals and reporting by property

Renewal requests go out automatically before each policy expires. Filter status by property, owner, or vendor, and export to Excel when owners ask.

FAQ

COI tracking for property managers: FAQs

Answers for property teams managing tenant and vendor insurance across a portfolio.

What is COI tracking software for property managers?

COI tracking software for property managers collects, reviews, and tracks certificates of insurance from tenants, vendors, and contractors across a portfolio. PINS sets requirements by lease or contract, checks endorsements with AI-assisted review, and sends renewal requests automatically. Beven & Brock, Aztec Shops at San Diego State University, and Associated Students at CSU Fullerton use PINS to manage tenant and vendor insurance.

What insurance should commercial tenants provide?

Most commercial leases require general liability, property or contents coverage for the tenant’s improvements and belongings, and workers compensation if the tenant has employees. Restaurants and bars usually add liquor liability. Leases also commonly require the owner and management company to be named as additional insured, along with a waiver of subrogation and primary and non-contributory wording.

Who should be named as additional insured on a tenant or vendor COI?

Usually the property owner entity, which is often a separate LLC for each property, and the management company. Lenders are sometimes added as well. The names should match the lease or contract exactly. PINS pulls the entities to be named from your documents, and AI-assisted review checks each endorsement against them, so a certificate that lists only the manager is caught before it is approved. For more, see additional insured endorsements explained.

Can PINS show insurance status by property and owner?

Yes. Every tenant and vendor record is tied to its property, and reports can be filtered by property, owner, or vendor and exported to Excel. That makes it easier to answer owner and asset manager questions without rebuilding a spreadsheet.

How does PINS handle renewals across a portfolio?

PINS tracks each policy’s expiration separately and sends renewal requests automatically, starting 30 days before expiration and continuing until updated insurance is received. Renewed certificates go through the same review, so coverage stays current without each site chasing it. For more, see how to manage COI renewals.

Do tenants and vendors need to log in to submit insurance?

No. Tenants, vendors, and their brokers upload certificates and endorsements through a secure link with no login required. Requests come from your own email domain, so they know who is asking.

Does PINS integrate with Yardi or AppFolio?

PINS does not have native integrations with Yardi, AppFolio, or other property management platforms. Teams that need to connect systems can use the PINS API, which is available as an add-on.

How does PINS handle waivers and exceptions?

PINS lets you waive requirements as needed to keep projects on track. Every waiver and exception stays tied to the right tenant, vendor, and property, with a record of who approved it and when. Your team makes the final compliance decision.
