Renters Insurance

Your landlord’s insurance covers the building, but it does not cover your belongings, your liability or your living expenses if something goes wrong. Renters insurance can fill that gap.

Renters Insurance at a Glance

A standard renters policy bundles three types of coverage:

• Personal property coverage may pay to repair or replace your belongings after a covered loss.
• Liability coverage may financially protect you if a guest is injured in your home or if you accidentally damage someone else’s property.
• Loss-of-use coverage may help pay for a hotel, restaurant meals and transportation costs while your unit is being repaired due to a covered event.

Common Covered Losses

Renters insurance may cover losses caused by:

• Fire and smoke damage
• Theft, including items stolen from your car
• Vandalism
• Water damage from burst pipes or appliance leaks
• Windstorm and hail
• Accidental damage to others’ property

Flooding and earthquakes aren’t typically covered under a standard renters policy. You’ll need separate policies for both.

Ways to Save on Premiums

A few practical steps may qualify you for insurers’ discounts and lower what you pay each month:

• Bundle renters insurance with an auto policy.
• Install smoke detectors, deadbolt locks or a monitored security system.
• Choose a higher deductible to lower your monthly cost, though this may increase what you pay out of pocket after a claim.

Ask your agent to review your coverage annually to help make sure you are not paying for limits that no longer match your needs.
