eRenterPlan Customer Care: An Expert, Practical Guide
eRenterPlan is a renters insurance program commonly integrated with apartment communities via RealPage’s leasing and compliance platforms. Its customer care model combines a policy service team (for enrollment, changes, billing, and proof-of-insurance) with claims service provided by the underwriting insurance carrier listed on your declarations page. Knowing where to go for what—policy servicing vs. claims—will save you time and help you get documents or payments faster.
This guide explains how to contact customer care, what information to have ready, how policy changes and proof-of-insurance updates work, what to expect from claims, and how to escalate issues. It’s written from the perspective of a property insurance operations professional, with concrete steps, realistic timelines, and practical tips you can use right away.

How eRenterPlan Customer Care Is Structured
eRenterPlan is administered in conjunction with property management systems, so your community may be able to verify coverage and receive automatic updates (such as evidence of insurance, cancellations, or reinstatements) without you emailing documents. In most setups, your leasing office is listed as an “Additional Interest,” which authorizes automatic notices while preserving your privacy and coverage rights as the named insured.
Important distinction: customer care handles policy service (enrolling, updating addresses, adding roommates as additional insureds if available, billing changes, etc.). Claims are handled by the insurer named on your declarations page; eRenterPlan’s service team can route you or warm-transfer your call but does not adjust claims. Keep both contacts handy: customer care for policy service and the carrier’s claims number for losses.
Contacting eRenterPlan: Channels, Hours, and What to Expect
Use the policy documents you received at enrollment—welcome email, declarations page, or the resident portal—to retrieve the exact customer care phone number and email for your state and policy form. If you enrolled through your community’s portal, there is often a “Manage My Policy” or “Insurance” link that leads to the official eRenterPlan/RealPage insurance portal. For security, verify the domain ends in “erenterplan.com” or “realpage.com” before entering personal information.
Phone support and portal chat (where available) typically operate during U.S. business hours on weekdays. When you call, you’ll be asked to verify your identity (full name, property address, date of birth, and possibly the last four digits of a payment method on file). Most service requests—like emailing proof of insurance or updating Additional Interest details—are completed during the call or within one business day.
- Policy number (often 10–12 characters), property address, unit number, and move-in/move-out dates
- The email and phone number on file, plus your full legal name as it appears on your lease
- Your community/landlord’s legal name and leasing office email for proof-of-insurance delivery
- Payment details if updating autopay (last 4 digits of card or bank account)
- For claims triage/transfer: date/time of loss, cause of loss (fire, theft, water), and any police or incident report numbers
Common Requests and How Customer Care Handles Them
Proof of Insurance to Your Property Manager
If your community is listed as an Additional Interest, proof-of-insurance and updates (renewals, cancellations, reinstatements) are normally sent automatically by the system to the email or compliance feed your property uses. Ask customer care to confirm the exact Additional Interest name and email on file to prevent misrouted notices.
Need immediate proof? Request a same-day email of your Evidence of Insurance (typically a one-page PDF) to both you and the leasing office. If your property needs specific wording, provide it verbatim; customer care can usually add standardized lease-required endorsements if offered by your policy form.
Policy Changes: Address, Roommates, Pets
Moving within the same state often allows a mid-term address change; coverage and premium may adjust based on the new ZIP code and building characteristics. Changes are effective on the requested date or the date processed, subject to underwriting rules. For example, if your premium changes by $3.60/month after an address update with 120 days left in the term, the pro-rated difference would be about $14.40 for the remainder (example only).
Adding a roommate can be handled by listing them as an additional insured or named insured, depending on the policy. Customer care will explain eligibility and whether a reissue is required. Pet liability coverage, if available in your state, can typically be endorsed mid-term; be ready to disclose breed, weight, and any prior incidents. Expect endorsement documents within 1 business day and billing adjustments to reflect any added premium.
Billing, Autopay, and Renewal
Autopay can be set up with a debit/credit card or ACH. Card updates are effective immediately; ACH updates may take 1 business day to validate. If a payment fails, most programs send a notice with a cure period—update your method promptly to avoid cancellation. Refunds after cancellation are usually pro rata and returned to the original payment method once processed.
Renewal offers typically generate 30–45 days before expiration. Watch for an email or portal notice with new-term premium and any changes in limits or endorsements. If your community requires continuous coverage (common), avoid non-renewal or lapse by confirming payment method and address well before the renewal date.
Claims Support: What Customer Care Can and Can’t Do
Claims are administered by the underwriting insurer listed on your declarations page. Your documents include the carrier’s 24/7 claims phone number and, in many cases, a web claims portal. eRenterPlan customer care can provide the carrier contact, confirm your coverage limits/deductibles, and transfer your call, but they do not make coverage determinations or issue claim payments.
Typical timelines (vary by carrier and loss type): claim acknowledgment within 1 business day, adjuster assignment within 2–3 business days, and payment within 7–14 days after receipt of documentation. Water, fire, and theft losses often require photos, inventories, and receipts; liability claims may take longer due to third-party investigations. Keep your deductible in mind—commonly $250–$500 for personal property, higher in some states.
- Date, time, and location of loss; cause of loss; actions taken to mitigate damage (e.g., shutoff, board-up)
- Photos/videos of damage; list of damaged items with age, model, and approximate cost; receipts if available
- Police or incident report number for theft/vandalism; landlord or property manager contact details
- Invoices or estimates for repairs; hotel receipts for Loss of Use; bank details for EFT claim payment
Escalations, Complaints, and Regulatory Paths
If a service request stalls, ask customer care for a case ID and a supervisor callback. A good internal standard is a supervisor follow-up within 1 business day with a concrete next step (e.g., “endorsement in queue, ETA today by 5 p.m. local”). Recap your request in writing (email) so there’s a timestamped trail—include your policy number, property name, and exact outcome you need.
For claim-specific disputes, escalate to the insurer’s claim supervisor or examiner first. If unresolved, you can file a complaint with your state Department of Insurance (DOI). Many states require carriers to respond within 15 business days to DOI inquiries. Maintain a log of dates, names, and summaries of each interaction; organized documentation speeds resolution.
Pricing and Coverage at a Glance
While premiums vary by state, building characteristics, and your selected limits, many renters pay roughly $12–$25 per month for standard packages. Common selections: $10,000–$50,000 personal property, $100,000–$300,000 personal liability, $1,000–$5,000 medical payments to others, and $250–$500 deductibles. Increasing liability to $300,000 or $500,000 often costs only a few dollars more per month and can satisfy stricter lease requirements.
Your community may require proof of at least $100,000 in liability and to be listed as an Additional Interest (notice only). Additional Insured status, if offered and allowed by the carrier, extends certain protections to the property but can change claims handling; confirm your lease language and discuss options with customer care. Be aware of state-filed policy fees and any mid-term endorsement or cancellation fees disclosed in your documents.
Data Security and Privacy
Protect your personal data by using only the official portal (verify the domain ends in “erenterplan.com” or “realpage.com”) and avoiding the transmission of full payment numbers or sensitive IDs via unsecured email. Customer care will verify identity but should never ask for your full card or bank number over email.
If someone calls you claiming to be from insurance, ask them to reference your policy number and last payment date, then call back using the number on your declarations page or the official portal. For emailed documents, request password-protected PDFs when possible and avoid sharing documents that display full account numbers.
When You Need the Exact Phone Number or Address
Your authoritative contacts are on your declarations page and welcome email: customer care phone and email for policy service, the insurer’s claims phone/online portal for losses, and the mailing address for written requests or notices. If you can’t locate those, log in via your community’s resident portal and follow the insurance link to the policy management page to retrieve them.
As a double-check, you can also ask your leasing office—they typically have the correct servicing contacts on file. When searching online, use the brand name plus “insurance portal” or “policy management” and verify the URL is the official domain before you sign in. Keeping these verified contacts saved in your phone will make future requests (proof, endorsements, renewals) a one-call task.
