Renters Insurance
If your apartment is robbed or the apartment above you has
a fire and the water used to extinguish it floods your apartment,
your landlord’s policy likely will not pay to replace any of
your stuff. That’s up to you. Your landlord or apartment association
may have insurance, but this only protects the building, not
your personal possessions. Renters insurance helps to covers
the damage or loss to your personal belongings and will protect
them in case of disaster. It is even more important to consider
renters insurance when living with roommates because renters
insurance can offer protection for accidents that are caused
by other tenants. Look in the yellow pages of your local phonebook
to see listings of local insurance companies and to get more
information on policy quotes and prices.
