Renters Insurance Information

Many renters believe that renting a space comes with a lot less responsibility and risk than owning a home. While this is true in many aspects, a lot of the same danger homeowners face and plague renters, as well. Your landlord’s property insurance won’t generally cover your personal belongings or issues that occur between you and another person. This is why all tenants should consider renters insurance.
As a representative of Nationwide, Consolidated Insurance Markets provides high quality service and genuine customer care. We will help you evaluate risks and build a renters insurance policy that suits your coverage needs at a competitive price.
What Does Renters Insurance Cover?
A typical renters insurance policy covers three areas: liability, personal belongings and additional living expenses.
Liability
General liability under renters insurance covers bodily injury and property damage someone else may suffer on your rented property. For example, say you have a friend visit and they trip and fall in your bathroom. Renters liability insurance can help pay for their medical bills, along when compensating you for legal expenses in case of a lawsuit. This insurance can also extend to accidents off of the property, including injuries and damages caused by your children or pets.
Personal Belongings
Personal belongings coverage provides compensation if your personal items are lost or damaged due to fire, wind, hail, lightning, smoke, theft, vandalism and more. This insurance does not cover damage to the actual unit or rented property. Instead, it is designed only to cover your belongings, such as furniture, clothes, bags, etc. There are additional policy floaters available to cover expensive items such as jewelry, furs, art and electronics.
Additional Living Expenses
Additional living expenses help with the cost of temporarily moving if the rented space is rendered uninhabitable by a disaster. For example, say your apartment is hit heavily by a tornado and you can no longer live inside until repairs are complete. Additional living expense coverage can play for temporary shelter, such as hotel payments, food and other resources.
Optional Coverages
You may also want to add coverages to your renters insurance policy such as:
