Renters Insurance
There are advantages to being a renter…
As a renter, you’ve got it pretty good: No property taxes, no lawn cutting, and no snow removal.
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 were a break-in and some of your most expensive stuff was stolen?
You may think that the building owner’s insurance would 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 their responsibility, while everything inside is yours to cover. This means all your furniture, electronics, appliances, clothing, and jewelry are uninsured unless you purchase a renters policy.
Renters Insurance is the perfect choice for people looking to cover property in their apartment or rental home. This type of insurance policy is designed in much the same way as a homeowners policy and covers your possessions for many of the same perils including (but not limited to), windstorm or hail, theft and fire and lighting. It also provides important liability coverages for the rented premises.
While the landlord of your rented home or apartment has insurance for the structure, that policy will not cover your belongings. When calling about a renters insurance policy, it’s important to have a accurate valuation of your personal property. Your electronics, furniture, clothing and art may add up to an amount that may be difficult to absorb in the event of a loss such as a fire. Once you’ve figured out the value of your possessions, you know how much coverage you’ll need.

The Cost Of Replacing Your "Stuff"
If you’ve considered it all, you might think that the “stuff” you have accumulated isn’t worth that much. It may or may not be worth anything from a dollar amount, but that’s very different compared to how much it would cost you to replace it. Buying a new bedroom set, clothing, or a computer can cost much more than you think.
You’ll be surprised at how affordable renters insurance can be. Besides covering all your stuff, it covers you from being held liable for if someone hurts themselves while they’re in your home. So, in the unfortunate event you’re sued, and the judgment goes against you, the renters policy will cover you, up to the policy limits.
