Protecting Your Belongings and Peace of Mind
What is Renters Insurance?
Renters insurance is a type of financial protection designed for individuals who rent their homes, apartments, or condominiums. While your landlord’s insurance covers the building itself, renters insurance protects your personal belongings, liability, and additional living expenses in case of unexpected events such as theft, fire, vandalism, or water damage.
Having renters insurance ensures that you don’t have to bear the financial burden of replacing your belongings or covering unexpected costs due to damages or lawsuits.
What Does Renters Insurance Cover?
Renters insurance typically includes three main types of coverage:
01.
Personal Property Coverage
✅ Fire and smoke damage
✅ Theft and vandalism
✅ Water damage (excluding floods)
02.
Additional Living Expenses
✅ Hotel stays
✅ Restaurant meals
✅ Temporary rentals
What Renters Insurance Does NOT Cover
🚫 Damage from floods (separate flood insurance required)
🚫 Earthquake damage (separate policy needed)
🚫 Pest infestations (bed bugs, termites, rodents)
🚫 Intentional damage or illegal activities
🚫 Business-related losses (if running a home-based business)
How to File a Renters Insurance Claim
