What is Renters Insurance?

Renters insurance helps protect you and your belongings if the unexpected happens. A landlord's insurance policy covers the building, but not your personal things.

Should I Get Renters Insurance?

You should get renters insurance if you rent an apartment, house, or condo because it protects your personal belongings from unexpected events like theft, fire, or water damage. Your landlord's insurance will cover the physical structure itself, but it won't safeguard you from loss. Without renters insurance, you'll have to pay out of pocket to repair or replace your personal items. If you rent an apartment, condo, house, etc., you need renters insurance.

Renters insurance requirements may differ by state. If you're wondering about renters insurance requirements in your state, visit our State-Specific Renters Insurance Guide to learn more about coverage options and regulations.

• How are landlord and renters insurance different? Landlord insurance primarily protects property owners, covering the building's structure and potential loss of rental income, but it doesn't include tenants' personal belongings. Renters insurance is designed for tenants to safeguard their possessions, provide liability coverage, and assist with living expenses if the rental becomes uninhabitable. In essence, landlord insurance protects the person who owns the home while renters insurance protects the person who rents the homes and personal belongings.
• What is typically not covered by renters insurance? Renters insurance typically doesn't cover damages to the physical structure of the building because it falls under the landlord's responsibility. It also doesn't cover high-value items like jewelry, art, or collectibles unless specifically added to the policy. Renters insurance will not cover a roommate's belongings. Damage from flooding or earthquakes is usually excluded but can be added with separate coverage.
• Does renters insurance cover pets? Renters insurance doesn't cover injuries or illnesses sustained by your pet or damages your pet causes. However, it may provide liability coverage if your pet injures someone or damages their property. Always check your policy to understand specific pet-related exclusions.
• What do I need for a renters insurance quote? To get a renters insurance quote, you'll need your name, date of birth, and a list of your personal belongings and their value. You'll also need to provide details about your rental property, including its size, location, and security features.
• How much renters insurance coverage do I need? The amount of renters insurance coverage you need depends on the value of your personal belongings and your liability risks. Typically, coverage should be enough to replace your possessions in case of loss, like theft or fire. A common guideline is $30,000 to $50,000 for personal property, but higher amounts may be necessary for expensive items. For liability, coverage of at least $100,000 is recommended to protect against accidents or injuries.
