Renters Insurance
Renting a home might not involve the same financial investment as owning one, but having adequate insurance is still essential. Renters insurance may protect your personal belongings against financial losses following certain household hazards and unforeseen events. Our team at ISG Insurance is ready to evaluate your insurance needs, explore options and create the right policy for you.
What Is Renters Insurance?
Renters insurance offers financial protection for people renting a home, whether it’s an apartment or a house. While landlords usually insure the physical structure of the home or unit, their policies don’t include the tenant’s personal items or liability. Renters insurance bridges this gap, safeguarding your property and providing liability coverage when needed.
What Does Renters Insurance Cover?
A renters insurance policy can be tailored to fit your unique needs, budget and situation, but it typically provides financial assistance for the following events:
- Fire or smoke
- Water damage caused by accidental discharge of water, such as from a burst pipe
- Windstorm or hail
- Lightning
- Explosions
- Theft
- Vandalism
- Riots or civil commotion
The following are the three basic types of coverage renters insurance offers:
- Personal possessions coverage may financially protect your belongings from covered risks, helping you to pay costs for repair or replacement up to the policy limits.
- Liability protection coverage may cover medical bills, legal fees and damages from lawsuits if someone is injured on your rented property and you’re found legally responsible.
- Additional living expenses coverage may help pay for your expenses, such as hotel stays and meals, if you need to relocate temporarily due to a covered event.
