Renters/Tenant Insurance

A renter's insurance policy, also known as tenant insurance, is designed to protect individuals who rent or lease properties. Unlike homeowners insurance, which covers the building and the owner's belongings, renter's insurance is focused on the tenant's personal property and liability.

Key Components

Personal property coverage: This coverage helps protect your personal belongings such as furniture, clothing, electronics, and other items inside your home. It can help repair or replace these items if they a re damaged, destroyed, or stolen.
Liability coverage: Renters insurance provides liability protection in case someone is injured on your property and you are found legally responsible. It can help cover medical expenses and legal fees if you are sued.
Loss of Use: If your home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss, Loss of Use coverage can help pay for temporary living expenses such as hotel bills, food, and other costs until your home is repaired or rebuilt.

It's important to note that renters insurance policies typically have limits on coverage amounts and may exclude certain types of damage, such as floods or earthquakes. To protect against these exclusions, renters may need to purchase additional coverage.
