How to ensure your belongings are covered if you rent
Renters often have questions about tenant insurance, such as what it covers, how to get it and if it’s even required.
Here’s a quick-start guide to help first-time renters understand the basics of tenant insurance.
Tenant insurance is an easy and affordable way to protect your belongings in case of theft, fire, vandalism, flooding and more.
If your rental home becomes unlivable due to a covered loss, tenant insurance can help with replacing damaged personal property and cover any additional living expenses you have until you move back in or find another place to live.
Every policy is different, so ask an insurance expert if the tenant insurance you’re considering includes these essential coverages.
Be aware that most insurance policies require a deductible to start a claim, which can range from $100 to over $1,000, depending on policy.
That’s an amount that you’re responsible to pay, so the repairs may not be completely without cost to you.
Insurance isn’t just for homeowners. If you are a renter, protect your personal property and investments with tenant insurance.
