Why
Buy Renters Insurance?
If you're a renter, you may not think you need insurance at all.
(Your landlord already has insurance on the building, right?) But
you may not realize that your landlord's policy doesn't cover any of
your personal property. What would happen to your belongings if:
-
Your apartment building burned down?
-
A thief broke into your town house?
-
A guest slipped and injured himself in your kitchen?
-
The home you're renting suffered water damage?
Without renters insurance, you've got no coverage for personal
property loss or damage. Fortunately, you can get affordable renters
insurance (also called apartment insurance) to protect you in
situations like these. Get a free

injury to another person on your property. If necessary, your policy

that pays for medical expenses of people who don't live with you,
but who are injured on your property.
