Protect what’s important to you, at home and beyond.
Why Renters Insurance Matters
As a renter, it’s essential to understand what your landlord’s insurance actually covers. While their policy protects the building itself, it typically doesn’t cover your personal belongings inside the property. Additionally, it won’t cover legal expenses or settlements if you’re held responsible for someone else’s injury or property damage. That’s where renters insurance comes in — providing you with financial protection and peace of mind when you need it most.
What Does Renters Insurance Cover?
A renters insurance policy typically offers comprehensive protection in three key areas:
Personal Property Protection
If your belongings are damaged, destroyed, or stolen, renters insurance can help cover the cost of replacing them. Just like homeowners insurance, it generally covers unexpected events such as storms, theft, fire, and more. Coverage can even extend beyond your home—protecting your items if they’re stolen or damaged while you’re traveling or away from home.
Liability Coverage
If someone outside your household is injured on your property (for example, if a guest trips over a rug) or if you accidentally damage someone else’s property, liability coverage can help. It can cover legal fees, medical expenses, and settlements—up to the limit you select—if you’re found legally responsible.
Additional Living Expenses (ALE)
If your rental becomes uninhabitable due to a covered event, renters insurance can help cover extra costs like temporary housing, meals, and other necessary expenses while repairs are being made.
Do I Need Renters Insurance?
Some landlords may require tenants to have renters insurance with liability coverage in case the renter causes damage to the building or unit. Even if your landlord doesn’t require it, it’s important to understand that their insurance policy likely doesn’t cover your personal belongings, such as furniture, computers, or clothing. A renters insurance policy from A.Neto Agency can help cover damages or losses if, for example, a fire breaks out or a pipe bursts and damages your possessions.
How Much Renters Insurance Do I Need?
To determine how much coverage you might need, it’s helpful to create an inventory of your personal belongings — items like electronics, furniture, appliances, jewelry, art, and other valuables — and estimate the value of each item. Then, speak with an agent from A.Neto Agency to discuss the best policy for protecting your belongings, including whether you might need additional coverage for high-value items.
