Like homeowners insurance, renters insurance protects you from unexpected incidents that anyone can face: fire, theft, water damage and other unplanned circumstances – events your landlord’s policy won’t cover. For example, you’re at work or on a family vacation, and when you return home, you find your building has been destroyed by a gas explosion. Building fires, floods, and other damage can happen anytime, anywhere.

What is Renters Insurance?

4

Renters insurance typically provides coverage, up to the limits you select, for specified items and situations, including:

• Personal property (furniture, electronics, computer equipment, clothing, etc.).

• Personal liability if someone is hurt, whether in your home or away from it.

• Damage to your apartment or home caused by a covered loss.

5

Renters insurance will protect you from incidents that happen while you’re at home, too, such as a toaster having a meltdown or if someone trips and falls in your apartment, leading to expensive medical bills or even a lawsuit; your renter’s insurance policy would provide you with coverage. Renters insurance provides coverage for your own items, and it provides coverage for other people’s injuries or damages in situations for which you’re liable, as well. Protect your family and your possessions with the best renters insurance from Driver’s Choice.

Renters insurance helps to pay for a place to stay if you can’t live in your apartment by damage from something like a hurricane or major repair — up to a point. Some policies place time limits on how long they’ll cover expenses of staying in a new place, such as six months or a year, while others put a cap on how much they’ll shell out.

Whether your landlord requires renters insurance or not, it’s a good idea to take an inventory of your possessions and think about what it would cost you to replace them.
