Common Homeowner Insurance Questions

What is renters insurance?

No dwelling or resident is safe 100% of the time. All are susceptible to various household hazards like fires, weather damage, break-ins and even lawsuits brought by someone they negligently harmed. Any of these hazards could be exceptionally costly even in the smallest circumstances.

You shouldn’t have to worry about how you will pay for your recovery costs resulting from these setbacks. Your renters insurance will ensure that you receive the financial assistance you need to recover. You won’t have to spend valuable personal funds to rebuild your life, and that is a big weight off your shoulders in the end.

What is the difference between homeowners and renters insurance?

Homeowners and renters insurance look a lot alike, but the latter is designed only for those who rent, rather than own their homes. The policy won’t burden the tenant with coverage that is only necessary for the dwelling’s owner to carry. However, both plans can help you substantially reduce your out-of-pocket burden following unexpected, unavoidable accidents in the home.

What does renters insurance cover?

Renters insurance differs from homeowners coverage is that it does not offer structure coverage, since the tenant does not own the dwelling where they reside. Most renters plans offer at least:

Possessions insurance
Liability insurance
Additional living expense protection

These plans can be further tailored with specialized benefits like:

Scheduled items riders
Replacement cost value possessions coverage
Umbrella liability insurance
Earthquake and windstorm endorsements
Pet bite liability insurance

Is renters insurance required?

Tenants often face requirements to buy renters insurance. Typically, landlords require their renters to purchase policies because by doing so, the renter reduces the landlord’s liability for losses that might occur in the home. Landlords must still purchase their own coverage for home itself.

How much do policies cost?

Multiple factors could influence the cost of your renters insurance, including:

The value of your property
The home’s location
Your credit score
Security features in the home
Your chosen policy and coverage limits
