Personal Property<\/strong><\/p>\n Many renters assume that their landlords’ policy will cover damages to personal property in the event something happens to the building; however, that is not the case. Renters need an individual policy to cover personal property. A landlord’s policy will cover damages such as drywall in the event that a pipe bursts; however, as a renter, you would be responsible for your personal property such as furniture, computers, and clothing. Renters insurance will also cover your personal property in the event it is stolen. <\/p>\n Personal liability and medical bills<\/strong><\/p>\n In the event a third party is injured in your home, a renters insurance policy can assist. It will cover the medical bills of the injured party as well as the costs of defending yourself in court in the event a third party sues you. <\/p>\n Living costs <\/strong><\/p>\n In the event you are forced to leave your rental because it is uninhabitable due to a fire or other disaster, a renters’ insurance policy will help. The rental policy will help cover the costs of a hotel and food while you are displaced. <\/p>\n There are some types of claims that a renters’ policy will not cover.<\/p>\n High-value items: If you own expensive jewelry or art, you will need to add additional coverage to make sure they are covered in the event they are damaged. <\/p>\n Damage caused by pests: If mice, bugs, or vermin damage your property, it will not be covered under your rental policy. <\/p>\n If you are interested in renters’ insurance policy, reach out to an agent at Brock and Poole Insurance Agency.
