Using common sense to lower premiums

Article Abstract:

Dealers can avoid high insurance premiums by maintaining well-kept and safe manufactured housing communities. One area that should always be kept in top condition is the community office because its condition reflects the image of the community. It should be clean, tastefully decorated and have all necessary safety features. Likewise, storage and work areas should also reflect the said characteristics. Inspectors should see that these areas ensure the safety of employees or visitors. Potholes and cracks in roadways and walks and worn-away railings should immediately be repaired to avoid injuries or accidents.
