What happens if I am late paying my monthly Lease Co-Guarantee fee?
Pensio Tenants will send you an electronic notice to pay your late payment. You will have 30 days to pay the arrears. You will still be covered during this period. The Lease Co-Guarantee agreement will be cancelled when you miss 2 consecutive monthly payments, or a total of 3 payments within a 6-month period. However, you can enroll again into the program, the need to be employed at the time of re-enrollment and for 60 days following will apply again. We understand that you need to manage your budget, and we want to help, not hinder, you and your family.

I am pleased to take this opportunity to relate my experience with World Insurance Associates. After being referred to the company by a trusted friend; I had the pleasure of working with a very positive and responsive staff. My agent, Nilda Rodriguez, was especially helpful in getting me the best deal. As a result, I am more than satisfied with the insurance package I received. I highly recommend doing business with World Insurance.

I was very satisfied with the help I received from Walt Paytner, My insurance premiums kept climbing and I needed to search a better option since it was truly too high in my budgeting. I have a great record for driving and yet it was being penalized by Liberty Mutual. I was very satisfied with Travelers and getting the same coverage and even added road side assistance. It was a big difference in my auto and a reduction in my homeowners. P.S Walt was very helpful.
