What kind of stolen property is covered and does it have to be stolen from your house or car?

You don't say what type of policy, I will assume homeowners, it depends on the policy form, most auto policies will not cover ANY personal property. Most homeowners policies may exclude the property ''while in or upon a land motor vehicle'' you need to review your policy, or contact your agent for clarity.

Yes, you can. If it's in your lease contract that you signed and you don't have it, then you are considered in default or violation of the lease already.

Does landlords insurance cover tennants contents if there is a fire due to faulty electrics?

The general rule is that landlords are not responsible for the contents of its tenants homes. However, if the fire occurred due to egregious acts by the landlord, you may be able to sue him for the value of the property that was burned. If you are concerned about your electricity being faulty, you should call the code enforcement office in your area.

If I just moved into an apartment an they have bed bugs an admitted to you that they were there before you moved in will your renters insurance cover your furniture?

Insurance policies generally exclude animal and insect infestation. If there were a policy that covered that, it would be for the damage that the animals or insects cause. In your situation, it does not sound like you have damage from the bed bugs.

I would recommend that you let the landlord know they should have an exterminator come out to remedy the situation. If you don't have success with that route, try contacting the department of fair housing in your area.

How do you replace the core of a lock?

One needs to call a locksmith, to remove a lock core requires a core key.

Actually, a locksmith would only be required if the control key for the core is missing...

Interchangeable and removable cores are always combinated or "keyed" outside of the lockable hardware. The control key is integrated into the core's keying to control (hence its name) the retention feature built into the core for the insertion and removal of the core from the lockable hardware. No core can ever be configured with any less than two keys, and at least one of those MUST be a "control"...

Typically, the control key is inserted into the core and, when turned very slightly (it'll stop on its own fairly quickly), it draws in the retention component of the core to allow the core to slip into or out of the prep in the locking hardware. Returning the control key to home position - where it can then be removed - redeploys the retention component. If the core has just been inserted at this point, then it is now otherwise unremovable from within the locking hardware...

IMPORTANT: A core is NOT the same thing as a cylinder. The terms are occasionally misused one-for-the-other outside of the commercial lock and locksmithing fields. If this particular question is in regard to a key cylinder, then removal and replacement would necessitate more details with regard to the hardware in which the cylinder is installed...

Commercial property lease types?

There are 3 kinds of commercial lease:

Am i responsible i damaged an awning but other parties have damaged the same awning who is responsible myselfcausing initial damage or all three of us that have caused damage?

if you had repaired it when it was first damaged, it would be an easy

choice. But in this case, you have to CONVINCE the "others" that they also

damaged it.

Since you did not replace it when it was damaged, you would have no

case in a court.

If a tree damages your vehicle during a storm while in a parking lot who is liable?

The comprehensive coverage on your vehicle would cover the damage. In most cases no one is liable for any storm damage. The (seldom) exception would be if you left your vehicle for repairs (let's say) and the shop did not use due diligence to protect your property. And even then it would be a rare occurance when the shops policy would cover 'a act of God'.........

Who is entitled to insurance proceeds between tenant and landlord?

That depends on the type of insurance policy it is. If it's the landlord's policy on his building, with him paying the premiums, then the insurance benefits go to him. For the insurance money to go to you, then you would have had to have taken out renters insurance, with you paying the premiums, insuring the contents (your personal belongings).

Who's responsible for burglary of an apartment if not stated in the lease to have renter insurance?

The tenant is responsible for insuring his apartment and contents against theft. The Lease does not have to require insurance.

Basically the door and window locks must work and the doors be of the proper type etc.

What dogs are not accepted by insurance?

Dogs and dog breeds that have a reputation for aggression are not good candidates for Liability insurance. Companies vary, but most Homeowners' or Renters' insurers will probably object to breeds like Akitas, Chows, Pit Bulls and others bred for aggressive qualities. Some even object to rescue Greyhounds because while they were trained from puppyhood to run races, they were not socialized to children. Until they are, they might snap at them because they don't know what to expect from children and may be afraid.

As a dog lover, I know that training and care can overcome breeding, yet insurance companies can't know who is effective in training and care and who obtained the pet because the aggressive nature was desired. Unfortunately they can't take our word for it, because they have a history of paying high Liability claims due to aggressive dogs. Check with your insurance company about specific breeds, and note that if you have a dog that has bitten anyone before - regardless of breed - your insurance company will probably not want to write your insurance.

Do you need section eight to get an apartment?

Section Aid??!! Are you talking about Section 8? If you can afford to rent an apartment (your rent, electricity and other utilities essential for the apartment should be no more than 30 percent of your income), then you don't need Section 8, otherwise yes. Section 8 isn't required normally to rent an apartment, and the reality is that most people who rent an apartment don't meet the affordability test yet they still rent it.
