In simplistic terms, renters need renters insurance to protect their belongings and protect themselves from liability. While it may be easy to believe, don’t fall for the common misconception that your landlord’s insurance will protect you and your belongings. Unfortunately, this is not true with landlords’ insurance covering the apartment or home you live in and any items that belong to the owner. Examples of what renters insurance covers include a kitchen fire and the costs needed to replace items destroyed, burglary and the recovery or replacement of stolen belongings, or a visitor falling at your unit and incurring thousands in medical bills and legal fees.
It is easy to think that you don’t have enough belongings to justify the cost of renters insurance; however, once you start adding up your personal items, you’ll quickly realize that your belongings are far more valuable than you think. For example, just a TV, computer, and iPad can soon escalate to $2,000, not counting anything else that you own. Typically, renters insurance includes personal liability coverage for injuries or damage to third parties and their property, personal property coverage to replace your belongings that are ruined in a covered incident, and additional living expenses that kick in when your rental becomes inhospitable due to a claim.
