What Does Renters Insurance Cover?
Renters Personal Property Coverage
Renters insurance can provide protection for your furniture and personal possessions — at home or away from home — against losses such as fire, lightning, windstorms, hail, explosions, smoke and vandalism. A renters policy can also protect your property against many types of theft loss in your apartment or anywhere in the world.
Renters Personal Liability Protection
In the event that a claim is made against you or you are sued, your renters personal liability coverage can help to cover the associated legal costs and related damages. Most renters policies provide $100,000 (minimum) of financial protection for covered accidental bodily injury or property damage to others. Higher amounts of coverage are available.
Medical Payments Coverage
Liability coverage generally can pay up to $1,000 per person — regardless of your legal responsibility — when a covered accident on your property involves bodily injury to others. It also can provide coverage in other situations as well. Higher amounts of coverage are available.
Additional Living Expenses
If you are forced out of your apartment by a covered loss, loss of use coverage can provide a percentage of the personal property coverage for necessary additional living expenses (such as hotel, meals, laundry, etc.) while your damaged apartment is being repaired. This is subject to coverage terms and limits. Higher amounts of coverage are available.
Additional Coverage
Contents Replacement Cost
