Renter's Insurance |
News You Can Use
Your landlord's insurance policy for the property does not extend to your belongings if you are a renter. In order to get this protection, you will need a renter's insurance policy. For tips on how to reduce your premium, click over to Discounts.
Your landlord's policy will cover the property and his/her liability. You will still want to cover your personal property and your liability. Let's say that you go out and leave the stove on, and an ensuing fire causes extensive damage to the entire building. You may be held liable to the landlord. Renter's insurance is typically less expensive than homeowner's insurance because you are not insuring a building. Personal property is covered even if you are away from home when the loss occur (e.g. on vacation). If you have an expensive wedding/engagement ring set or other fine jewelry, you should know that most homeowner's policies only cover $1,000 worth of jewelry. Consider extra coverage if the value of your jewelry exceeds this amount. If you run a business from your home, most homeowner's insurance policies will cover only $2,500 worth of equipment. Add up the replacement value of your PC, printer, fax, and any other equipment, and make sure you are covered. Even though you may consider your ATV, RV, boat, snowmobile, or motorcycle your personal property, they are specifically excluded (as are all motorized vehicles except for your riding lawnmower) on your homeowner's insurance policy.
