Renters Insurance

As a renter, you’ve got it pretty good: No property taxes, no lawn cutting, no snow removal … Just simple living!

But what would you do if you returned from work, or a vacation, and all your possessions in your apartment had been destroyed by a fire? Or if there was a break-in and some of your most expensive stuff was stolen?

You may think that the building owner’s insurance will take care of all the damage caused by a fire.

It doesn’t.

Your building owner is only required to carry insurance for the structure. Usually, covering everything outside “your walls” is his responsibility, while everything inside is yours to cover.

This means all your furniture, electronics, clothing and jewelry are uninsured unless you purchase a renter’s policy.

According to recent estimates, nearly two-thirds of the 81 million people who rent their homes are uninsured for their contents or for any liability arising out of their tenancy.

Don’t be a statistic …

First, do the math and add up how much it would cost to replace your belongings.
Second, check with the terms of your lease and verify if carrying a renter’s policy is required by your landlord.

Third, request a renter’s insurance quote to verify just how affordable it is to protect your belongings from perils like theft, vandalism, fire, and falling objects.

Renters insurance can cover virtually all of your personal possessions. Most policies provide coverage for electronic goods and equipment, sports equipment, cameras and photography equipment, furniture, and clothing. Ask your agent about extended protection for other items like, jewelry, furs, and firearms. Your renters insurance policy will generally include:

• Personal property protection
• Family liability protection
• Guest medical protection
• Additional living expenses
  

Again, we encourage all renters to spend just five minutes with a calculator to add up the cost of replacing everything they own. What if you came home tomorrow and your apartment had burned down? Where would you go? How would you pay to replace your clothing and furniture? When you ask yourself what renters insurance covers, you can relax and say yes to all of the above.

There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all insurance policy.

While most insurance products are similar in price and function, insurance providers are very different when it comes to structuring a policy that actually covers you.
