Tenant Insurance Compliance
By Angel Campa, Founder · Updated March 2026 · Saves 1–2 hours per property for initial setup
The Problem
Landlords must track that each tenant carries the insurance coverage required by their lease. This requires knowing the exact insurance requirements from each executed lease document — minimum liability limits, required additional insured parties, endorsements, and certificate delivery deadlines. Without extraction, this is a manual review of every lease.
Step-by-Step Workflow
- 1Upload all tenant lease PDFsSource
Upload the executed lease for each active tenant to Lextract.
- 2Extract insurance requirement fieldsLextract
Lextract identifies the insurance clause and extracts required coverage types, minimum limits for general liability and property, additional insured requirements, and certificate delivery frequency.
- 3Review extracted insurance requirementsLextract
Confirm that the extracted coverage limits and additional insured language are accurate for each tenant. These terms are frequently modified in lease negotiations.
- 4Build insurance compliance tracker in ExcelDestination
Download the extracted insurance requirements and build a per-tenant tracker showing each required coverage type, the required limit, the current certificate expiration, and compliance status.
- 5Request certificates from non-compliant tenantsDestination
Identify tenants with expired or missing certificates and send renewal requests referencing the specific lease requirement. Track receipt in the compliance tracker.

What insurance fields does Lextract extract?
Lextract extracts required insurance types (commercial general liability, property, workers compensation, auto), minimum coverage limits, additional insured requirements, waiver of subrogation provisions, and certificate delivery obligations.
Can Lextract verify a tenant certificate against the lease requirement?
Lextract extracts the requirement from the lease document. Verifying the certificate itself requires comparing the COI against the extracted requirement — a step done outside Lextract.
