Why Buy Renter's Insurance?

Renters insurance can help you repair or replace property after loss due to many types of damage or theft. It can also provide coverage for an accident at your residence. Policies usually have very affordable annual premiums. Your landlord's property insurance doesn't cover your belongings.

Why do so few renters have insurance? One explanation is that many people incorrectly assume they are covered by their landlord's policy. Another reason is that people underestimate the value of their belongings. If you add up the value of just your clothing and electronics, it wouldn't take long to add up to thousands of dollars. As with most things, a smart consumer should always shop around for the best coverage at the best price.
