What is renters insurance?

Renters insurance helps you get peace of mind when living in a rental home, even though you don’t own it. With a policy, you’ll have a source of financial support if accidents occur. So, if a fire, severe storm, theft, vandalism or other harmful event occurs, this coverage can assist you.

Why do I need it?

If you file a claim on renters insurance, your agent will determine if the policy will cover the requested costs. If it will, you can receive help with recovery costs from the policy, rather than paying out-of-pocket. You’ll be able to pay for things like repairs, living expenses and even costs related to lawsuits. You won’t have to worry about how you’ll afford to clean up messes from unexpected accidents.

What does renters insurance cover?

Renters coverage is not only important for your own security, but also for the property’s security in general. That’s why many landlords require that their tenants get coverage before they move into a rental. Policies primarily offer three types of coverage:

• Possessions insurance: Coverage will pay to help you repair or replace your personal belongings in the rental home. Clothing, furniture, electronics and more can often receive coverage.
• Liability insurance: If you cause accidental harm to a third party, like a neighbor, houseguest or stranger, this coverage can pay them their costs of recovery, so you don’t have to.
• Living expenses insurance: A damaging accident at home might mean you must temporarily move out. This coverage can help you pay costs like hotel bills or other unanticipated expenses.

Renters Insurance FAQs

Who needs renters insurance coverage?

Anyone who rents a home needs renters insurance. However, this coverage does not insure landlords. Landlords will need their own homeowners insurance for rental properties.

Is it worth getting renters insurance?

The whole point of renters coverage is to minimize your financial losses in case sudden, unexpected accidents strike in your home. It’s supposed to be able to step in during harder moments to make the recovery easier. You might not need to look at it every day. Still, with coverage, always have help available, just in case of a problem.

How much does renters insurance cost?

Most renters policies are very affordable. Many people pay less than $50/month. We’ll help you choose the right amount of coverage, but maintain your desired price targets to ensure you can afford it.

Does renters insurance cover structure damage?

If you accidentally damage the rental house’s structure, then your liability insurance might be able to compensate the landlord for some of the recovery costs. It can also help you pay in case you cause damage to a neighbor’s property as well. However, if outside events like break-ins or fires damage the structure, the landlord’s own property insurance will usually pay for structural repairs.
