This type of insurance usually covers losses or damage to personal property due to theft, vandalism, fire, or other covered hazards.
For example, if there is a fire in the building, renters insurance will cover the cost of replacing some or all of the damaged belongings of a tenant.
Personal property coverage typically includes items such as clothing, furniture, electronics, and appliances.
Liability coverage protects renters against lawsuits in case someone is injured while on their rental property.
Additional living expenses coverage, on the other hand, pays for temporary living expenses, such as hotel costs, if the rental unit becomes uninhabitable and needs repairs.
However, most landlord policies only cover the building structure and not the personal property of tenants. Without renters insurance, a renter would have to bear the cost of repairing or replacing damaged or lost possessions out of pocket.
Look for policies that offer comprehensive coverage for your specific needs and budget. You can also consider bundling your renters insurance with other types of insurance, such as auto insurance, to save money on premiums.
