And that’s not all. Renters Insurance will not only protect your belongings inside your apartment, but also away from home! Imagine you go for a skiing trip and take your skis off for lunch at the lodge… only to find that they’ve been stolen when you return. If you have renter’s insurance, they would be covered!

Still, insurance coverage for your personal property is only the “icing” on your renters insurance.

What’s even more important is the liability protection that your renters insurance policy provides:
For example, if a friend comes to your apartment, trips over your cat and breaks his arm, the liability coverage that comes with your renter’s insurance will kick in to pay for his injuries.

What’s worse, if you cause damage not only to your own, but also to other units of your apartment complex, you may be held responsible for the damage you have caused to the building and to your neighbor’s personal property. For example, if you forgot to turn off the stove before you left for work, causing fire and smoke damage to your apartment and to the units around you, you very well may be getting yourself in debt for life. Ai renters insurance can protect you! Not only does it provide liability coverage, but it will also pay for the cost to defend you in a liability lawsuit.
