Renters insurance protection for personal property and liability

What your policy can protect

Coverage is not one-size-fits-all. We compare options and explain the tradeoffs before you choose.

1

Personal property

Helps replace or repair belongings after covered losses such as theft, fire, or certain types of water damage.

2

Personal liability

Helps respond if you are legally responsible for injury or damage to someone else.

3

Additional living expenses

Can help with extra housing and meal costs if a covered loss makes your rental temporarily unlivable.

4

Medical payments

May pay smaller medical expenses when a guest is accidentally injured, regardless of fault, subject to policy terms.

5

Replacement cost options

Replacement-cost coverage generally does not deduct depreciation; actual-cash-value coverage usually does.

6

Valuable items

Jewelry, collectibles, electronics, art, and other valuables may need scheduled coverage or higher sublimits.

Smart steps before you buy

A few details now can prevent surprises at claim time.

✓ Your landlord’s policy generally protects the building—not your furniture, clothing, electronics, or liability.
✓ Create a room-by-room photo or video inventory and store it somewhere secure.
✓ Ask about water backup, hurricane deductibles, identity protection, pet liability, and valuables.
✓ Roommates usually need their own policies unless the carrier specifically allows otherwise.
