What Renters Insurance Can Include

A typical renters policy does more than take care of your belongings if they’re damaged. It also helps protect you from financial losses if you cause injury to someone else or someone else’s property. That keeps your bank account safe as well as your stuff.

Personal Property Coverage


This basic coverage insures your belongings if they’re damaged or destroyed by common disasters, such as fire or theft. Possessions stored away from home, like in a car or storage unit, are also covered.

Liability Coverage


If someone is injured at your rental house, or if you injure someone else or their property, liability coverage helps protect you from expensive legal fees and medical bills.

Medical Payments to Others


This covers necessary medical expenses if a visitor gets hurt at your home, even if it’s not your fault. Expenses might include an ambulance, x-rays, or an emergency room visit.

Additional Living Expenses


Some disasters can make your home unlivable until the damage is repaired. This coverage helps pay for temporary accommodations and things like food in certain situations.

Burglary


If you’re the victim of theft, it’s hard to accept that your stuff is gone for good. Burglary and theft coverage pays to replace your belongings so you can get back to life as usual.

Questions To Ask Your Agent

A standard policy covers your personal belongings, your liability at home and out in the world, and additional living expenses if something happens that makes your home uninhabitable. And there’s a full range of optional coverages for high-dollar items and unique situations. Renters insurance is also pretty cheap compared to homeowners insurance. Talk to your local agent about which coverages make sense for you.
