What Does Renters Insurance Cover?
Renters policies can vary between different companies. Always review your documents to see what type of policy and coverages that you have. Examples of common coverages that may be included on your policy are shown here.
- Personal Property: Your personal belongings. Examples: Furniture, clothing, electronics, sporting goods, etc.
- Personal Liability: Liability protection for you in case someone is injured at your home and you are blamed for the event.
- Additional Living Expenses: If you are not able to live in your home or apartment while covered damages are being repaired, this Additional Living Expense coverage helps you with additional expenses, like food & lodging, while you are displaced from your home.
- Theft coverage: Coverage for theft of your personal belongings.
- Medical Expense: Most policies include a small amount of no-fault medical expense coverage for injuries to a guest in your home.
Okay, now that we have explained some common Renters insurance coverages. Let’s take a minute and talk about what is not covered on your Renters insurance policy. Renters insurance does not cover your car, trailer, motorcycle, earthquake, flood, or the structure of the home or apartment. It also does not cover stuff that belongs to your roommates or stuff that is provided by the landlord.
