Renters Insurance
Keep your valuable possessions covered with renters insurance.
Often, renters assume their property owner's insurance covers them against loss. They may believe renters insurance is too expensive or think the value of their possessions is too small.
Reasons to have renters insurance:
-
Your landlord's insurance covers only the physical dwelling — not your possessions inside.
-
Your property owner's insurance rarely covers liability for events that happen within your home. For example, if a guest gets injured and sues you for medical costs, you might have to pay for these expenses.
-
Renters insurance will cover your possessions from vandalism or theft.
-
Your possessions may be more valuable and replacement costs higher than you think.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is Renters Insurance?
Renters insurance protects renters living in a house or apartment. While each renters policy may differ slightly, most policies cover you and your belongings after a fire or natural disaster, a theft, or a visitor's injury. Most policies also cover your living expenses if you can't live in your home or apartment for a period of time.
What does renters insurance cover?
While coverage can vary between policies, common items covered by renters insurance include:
-
Personal property: This coverage protects stolen or damaged items such as furniture, appliances, dishes, and clothing.
-
Personal liability: This coverage could help cover property damage or medical expenses to others caused by you or someone in your household, including your pets. Personal liability coverage can also help with legal costs if you are sued.
-
Additional living expenses: This coverage helps with costs you incur, like hotel bills, if the residence you rent is damaged and inhabitable.
-
Medical payments: Limited coverage for medical costs if a guest is injured on your property.
Is renters insurance required?
While renters insurance is not required, it's a good financial decision to purchase this coverage. As a renter, you need to protect your valuable possessions such as TVs, laptops, furniture, jewelry, and clothing. Anyone can purchase renters insurance, and coverage is probably less expensive than you think.
How much personal property coverage do I need?
Think about all your belongings. How much would you need to replace these items if they are destroyed or damaged? It might be more than you think. The best way to determine the right amount of personal property coverage is to create an inventory, including all items and their age and replacement values.
