Frequently Asked Questions
What does renters insurance cover?
Renters insurance typically covers: personal property (belongings damaged by fire, theft, vandalism, etc.), liability (if someone is injured in your rental), additional living expenses (if your rental becomes uninhabitable), and medical payments to guests. It does NOT cover the building structure (that's your landlord's policy).
How much renters insurance do I need?
Inventory your belongings to determine the right personal property coverage amount. Most people underestimate - the average person owns $20,000-$30,000 in personal property. Consider replacement cost coverage (pays to replace items at current prices) rather than actual cash value (depreciates items).
Is renters insurance required?
It's not required by law, but many landlords require it as a lease condition. Even if not required, it's highly recommended given the low cost ($15-$30/month) and significant protection provided. About 55% of renters in the US carry renters insurance.
