Why do I need renters insurance?
Your landlord’s policy only covers the building, not your personal stuff. Renters insurance helps you bounce back from theft, fire, or other unexpected losses.
Can a landlord require renters insurance?
Yes. Many landlords do, and even if they don’t, it’s still smart protection for you and your belongings.
How much does renters insurance cost?
It’s often surprisingly inexpensive, usually less than the cost of a streaming subscription each month. Coverage and cost depend on where you live and what you own.
Does renters insurance cover property damage?
Yes, it covers your personal property if it’s damaged by a covered event like fire, smoke, or theft. It doesn’t cover damage to the actual building – that’s your landlord’s responsibility.
Does renters insurance cover water damage?
It can, if the damage comes from a sudden event like a burst pipe. Floods usually aren’t included, but flood insurance can be added separately if you need it.
Will renters insurance cover my pets?
Renters insurance won’t cover vet bills, but many policies do include liability coverage if your pet causes injury or damage. That way, you’re not left footing the bill if Fido gets overexcited.
Does my renters insurance cover my roommate?
No, each person needs their own policy unless you’re both listed together. It’s best for every roommate to have separate coverage.
