The Basics of Renters Insurance
Buying renter’s insurance can sometimes seem like an impossible task. How much do I need? What will it cost? What’s covered and what isn’t? The truth is that a renter’s insurance policy works in much the same way as an automobile insurance policy. You decide on a coverage level and a deductible amount and then, in most cases, you make monthly payments to your insurance carrier. If your personal possessions are ever lost, stolen or damaged due to theft, fire, water damage, or certain weather-related situations, the insurance company will pay you to replace the items once you have paid the deductible.

A typical renter’s insurance policy also includes liability coverage. This protects you in the event that a visitor is injured in your home and sues you for damages. Many people don’t give much thought to this situation but unfortunately accidents do happen. Without the proper liability coverage, your income, savings, personal property, and even future wages could be at risk if you are found liable in a court of law.

Insurance experts agree that there are many reasons why people don’t have renter’s insurance. Some misguided explanations are:

  1. They think renter’s insurance coverage will be too expensive.
  2. They think their landlord’s coverage will pay for their personal losses or damage.
  3. They think they don’t own enough personal property to make it worthwhile.
  4. They greatly underestimate the value of their belongings.

A renter’s insurance policy generally will cost between $200 and $300 annually. When you consider that most people spend more than this on gourmet coffee every year, renter’s insurance seems like a really good bargain!

Your landlord’s homeowner coverage does protect the actual building you are renting and also the land it is built on. But all the items you have inside of your apartment or rental home are your responsibility. Without proper renter’s insurance, this means that you alone will have to replace the lost or damaged items. Just imagine having to buy everything at today’s market value. This is probably the most compelling reason why people make the smart decision to purchase and carry renter’s insurance.
