SafeLease Launches SafeHome to Track Insurance Compliance, Add Revenue

Austin, Texas – September 12, 2026 -- SafeLease, a technology-driven insurance provider serving more than 4,000 commercial properties, has launched SafeHome, a suite of insurance products designed to close a compliance gap affecting an estimated 35% of manufactured homeowners who carry no liability insurance, according to a March 2024 Consumer Federation of America report.

Uninsured residents leave community owners exposed to claims

Nearly every manufactured housing lease requires residents to carry liability coverage, but property management systems currently lack the tools to track compliance. When an uninsured resident suffers a loss, the resulting claim frequently falls on the community owner rather than the resident.
