What Does Renters Insurance Cover?

Renters Personal Property Coverage

Renters insurance can provide protection for your furniture and personal possessions — at home or away from home — against losses such as fire, lightning, windstorms, hail, explosions, smoke and vandalism. A renters policy can also protect your property against many types of theft loss in your apartment or anywhere in the world.

In the event that a claim is made against you or you are sued, your renters personal liability coverage can help to cover the associated legal costs and related damages.
