What is Apartment
Insurance?
If you rent the home or apartment where you live, you need
insurance, as the landlord you rent from is not responsible for
your personal belongings. That is the purpose of Renters
Insurance.
Your landlord’s policy will
not cover your personal property.
The homeowner’s
or fire/property insurance policy that your landlord has on
your rental property does not cover your personal belongings
(clothes, electronics etc) in your rental. An affordable
renter’s insurance policy covers your personal property,
such as clothes or electronics, in the event of a disaster - fire,
water, robbery etc.

Renter’s
Insurance covers:
Renter’s policies provide
"named peril" coverage, meaning the policy states
specifically what you are insured against.
Some examples of perils are:
- Fire or Lightning
- Windstorm
- Smoke
- Vandalism or Malicious
Mischief
- Theft
- Accidental Discharge of Water
Other loss types may be
included in tenant’s insurance policies.
Be sure your Renters Insurance coverage includes liability
protection, which covers damages as a result of unintentional
bodily injury or property damage to another person. If required, a
Renter’s Insurance policy may pay for your legal defense.
You may also be able to purchase Scheduled Personal
Property protection with increased coverage for personal
property items with value greater than the limits provided in your
Renters Insurance Policy.
