What exactly is renters insurance anyway?
Renters insurance provides coverage for your personal property against damage and loss. It also insures you incase someone is injured while on your property.
- You do not have coverage for your personal items through your landlord’s policy. If your items are damaged, destroyed, or stolen it is your responsibility to replace them.
- If there is a major loss and your living space is inhabitable your policy may cover living in another space while the damage is being repaired.
- Many policies have medical payments coverage for when a non household member injures themselves on premises.
You can purchase replacement cost coverage on your contents. If there is a loss and you have to buy all new items, you will be compensated for the items after you purchase them and submit your receipts.- You can also have a personal umbrella along with a renters policy, as long as you meet the underlying limits on your auto and renter’s policy.
