Renters Insurance Coverage Options
With the right renters insurance coverage, you can help protect your personal belongings and finances if the unexpected happens.
Standard renters coverages
Renters insurance offers a set of core coverages that work together to protect you and your belongings. Together, these coverages help you stay protected and give you confidence and peace of mind. It is important to note that coverage requirements and availability may vary by state.
Personal property
Personal property protects your belongings from damage or loss due to risks such as fire, theft and vandalism. This coverage generally applies to items like clothing and furniture.
Loss of use
Loss of use helps with temporary living expenses, such as hotel stays and additional meal expenses, if your apartment becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss.
Personal liability
Personal liability provides financial protection if you’re held legally responsible for injuries to others or damage to their property due to a covered incident.
Medical payments
Medical payments can help provide coverage for injuries occurring to others arising out of a covered incident, regardless of who is at fault.
Additional renters insurance coverages
In addition to the standard coverages, renters can choose additional optional insurance coverages that provide extra layers of protection for you and your assets against certain risks that may not be covered by a standard renters policy.
Water backup
This coverage helps repair your personal property if it’s damaged by water from backed-up drains or sump pump failures.
Scheduled personal property
An add-on for renters who own high-value items that standard policies may not fully protect. This type of coverage allows policyholders to list valuable belongings, such as jewelry, art collections or collectibles, separately to ensure they’re properly protected against loss or accidental damage.
Electronics coverage
Optional coverage that specifically protects electronic devices, like laptops, smartphones and tablets, from losses not covered in your policy, such as accidental damage.
Replacement cost
With replacement cost coverage, your belongings aren’t reduced for depreciation. If covered items are stolen or damaged, this coverage helps you replace them without factoring in wear and tear.
Identity theft
Identity theft coverage helps you recover from the financial and personal impacts of having your identity stolen. It covers costs like legal fees, lost wages and expenses related to restoring your identity.
