Protecting your space. Securing your peace of mind.
Protecting your space. Securing your peace of mind.
Renters’ insurance, also known as a renters’ policy, is designed to protect tenants and their personal possessions from events like vandalism, theft or damage caused by fire, smoke, water and more.
But, renters’ insurance coverage goes beyond protecting your belongings. It also covers liability, helping provide financial protection if someone is injured on your rental property or if you accidentally damage someone else’s property.
Many people wrongly assume that their landlord’s insurance policy will cover their personal belongings, but this is not the case. That’s why evaluating your possessions and living conditions is vital in determining the right personal property coverage level for your renters’ insurance policy.
Renters’ insurance policies typically cover a wide range of personal belongings, such as furniture, clothing and appliances. In addition to these everyday items, you may want to secure special coverage, often referred to as scheduled personal property, for valuable items like jewelry, high-end electronics, artwork and collectibles. In the event of a loss caused by a covered event, your renters’ insurance policy can offset the costs of repairing or replacing these items.
