Renters Insurance Costs

 Get Renters Insurance

You might think you don't need Renters Insurance if you rent, but think again! Add up the cost of your furniture, your electronic equipment, your CD collection, computer, garments and other personal property. Can you afford to replace everything in the event of a fire or burglary?  
Renter's Insurance is relatively inexpensive. The average cost of renter's insurance begins about  $12 a month for around $30,000 worth of property coverage and $100,000 worth of liability coverage. 

Rates vary depending on coverage, your location and the amount you want to cover. 

Renters Insurance may cover

 Get Renters Insurance

Repair or replacement of your personal property damaged, destroyed or stolen as the result of various types of peril -- fire or lightning, windstorm or hail, explosions, smoke, vandalism, theft, damage by glass, electrical surge damage, and water-related damage from home utilities, and more. If your home is made unlivable by one of these perils, Renters insurance will pay for the associated expenses (cost of a temporary residence, meals eaten out, etc.). Coverage is usually limited to a percent of the total value of the policy. Renter's insurance provides the security of knowing that if you lost everything today, you wouldn't be forced to start from scratch. Renter's insurance can even cover you for personal possessions that don't happen to be in the apartment at the time of the loss.

Actual Cash vs. Replacement Cost Value? 

Although you will pay about 15 percent more for it, you're usually better off with replacement cost coverage, which pays for what it actually costs to replace the items you lost. Actual cash value, on the other hand, pays only for what your property was worth at the time it was damaged or stolen. Get Renters Insurance

Lower Your Insurance Costs

Typically you can lower your cost even further by getting a policy with roommates, increasing your deductible or having multiple policies with the same carrier (Renters insurance and auto insurance, for example). It's certainly cheaper than replacing all your possessions. Get Renters Insurance

Landlord is Responsible, right?

Renters may assume their landlord's policy covers their belongings as well. Unfortunately that's not the case, and they often don't find that out until the worst possible time, after a disaster or a robbery. Your landlord's policy doesn't cover anything that's yours. The only exception to this would be if the loss was caused by negligence on the part of your landlord, and that wouldhave to be proven in court. That is where Renters insurance comes in.
