What Coverage Do I Get from My Renters Insurance?
Renters Insurance® provides the following types of insurance: personal property protection, family liability protection, guest medical protection, and additional living expenses.
Personal Property Protection
This insurance cushions your loss in the event of theft or damage, whether on your property or elsewhere
Example
- Renters insurance comes in handy if your bike gets stolen while ordering a takeout dinner from your favourite restaurant. It helps you replace it.
- Your insurance can reimburse you if you forget to put out a candle and it burns your nightstand, rugs, and clothes.
Family Liability Protection
Have you been sued for property damage or for personal injury? This insurance lets you settle such cases without burning a hole in your pocket.
Example
- If your neighbour invites you over for dinner and you accidentally knock over their antique vase, this insurance helps you cover the damage.
Guest Medical Protection
This insurance helps you cover your friends, colleagues or neighbours’ medical expenses if they sustain injuries on your property.
Example
- Maybe your crush comes over to help you in the kitchen and slips over spilt water, dislocating an arm. Then you may be liable for the injured person’s medical bills and lost wages on the grounds of negligence.
Additional Living Expenses
If your insured property gets damaged that it becomes uninhabitable and you have to stay elsewhere, this insurance will help you to meet the costs for the time being.
Example
- If an inferno leaves your home in ruins, you can utilize your renters insurance to cover hotel fees, meals, and other expenditures.
Am I Insured Against Theft?
Yes, you are. Renters insurance protects not just the belongings in your house, but also those on the move. For instance, while out on a casual after-work evening date, you may leave your PC in your SUV. Your standard auto insurance doesn’t protect this item, which exposes you to financial loss if it gets stolen.
However, with renters insurance, you need not worry if your item is nowhere to be found. You can replace it, based on the type and limit of your coverage, the replacement cost, and the depreciated value. For luxury items, like designer jewellery, you may add limited coverage to the standard plan.
What If My Rented Apartment is Damaged by a Storm?
The landlord insurance caters to this scenario. For example, in the event of a severe storm, the building may be damaged by fallen trees, roof shingles, or even tornados. If this happens to your apartment, the insurance company can reimburse the cost of fixing the structure. However, this only applies to the building and not your personal belongings, which is why you also need renters insurance.
Storms, without a doubt, cause significant losses, not just in monetary terms, but in the form of emotional stress. However, if you have the right coverage, you can get compensated for your losses. Renters insurance offers protection so you can focus on more important matters., but you must first understand what it covers to maximize its benefits. So simply call us and get a customized quote.
