Why is a Renters Policy Important?
There are advantages to being a renter. As a renter, you’ve got it pretty good: No property taxes, no lawn cutting, and no snow removal.
But what would you do if you returned from work or a vacation and all your possessions in your apartment had been destroyed by a fire? Or if there was a break-in and some of your most expensive stuff was stolen?
Or, you may think that the building owner’s insurance would take care of all the damage caused by a fire - It doesn’t.
This means all your furniture, electronics, appliances, clothing, and jewelry are uninsured unless you purchase a renters policy.
The Cost Of Replacing Your Stuff
If you’ve considered it all, you might think that the “stuff” you have accumulated isn’t worth that much. It may or may not be worth anything from a dollar amount perspective, but that’s very different compared to how much it would cost you to replace it. Buying a new bedroom set, clothing, or a computer can cost much more than you think.
You’ll be surprised at how affordable renters insurance can be. Besides covering all your stuff, it covers you from being held liable if someone hurts themselves while they’re in your home. So, in the unfortunate event you’re sued, and the judgment goes against you, the renters policy will cover you, up to the policy limits.
Do you need renters insurance?
According to recent estimates, nearly two-thirds of the 81 million people who rent their homes are uninsured for their contents, or for any liability arising out of their tenancy.
First, do the math and add up how much it would cost to replace your belongings.
Second, check with the terms of your lease, and verify if carrying a renters policy is required by your landlord.
Third, request a renters insurance quote to verify just how affordable it is to protect your belongings from perils like theft, vandalism, fire, and falling objects.
