Renters Insurance

Protecting Your Belongings and Personal Liability

Why Renters Insurance Matters

Renting a home or apartment does not mean your personal belongings are automatically protected. Your landlord's insurance typically covers the building, not your personal possessions.

Renters insurance can help provide protection for your belongings, personal liability, and certain unexpected events that may affect your living situation.

Benefits of Renters Insurance

Common Renters Insurance Misconceptions

"My landlord's insurance covers my belongings."

A landlord's insurance policy generally covers the building, but typically does not cover a tenant's personal belongings.

"I don't own enough things to need insurance."

Many everyday items can add up quickly. Replacing clothing, electronics, furniture, and personal belongings can become expensive after an unexpected loss.

"Renters insurance is too expensive."

Many renters find that coverage is affordable compared to the potential cost of replacing their belongings or dealing with unexpected expenses.
