I just bought renters insurance for our downtown condo and even though we have a door man as security measure, I feel comfortable knowing that we have coverage should somebody sue us for falling or getting injured while visiting.

Some of the comments reflect the thinking that the landlord should provide an umbrella of coverage over their tenants. The responsibility to Insure your personal contents is the renters themselves.

The renters policy additionally will provide liability coverage in the event something occurs in the premise that the tenet could be held liable for. So renters insurance also provides liability protection for the tenants

after being screwed by a landlord, I would really recommend that you get renter’s insurance. its damn cheap and seems really to be worth the whole price…

The house I was leasing flooded while I was on vacation because of old piping. It was crazy that had I not had renter’s insurance, I would have been kicked out the house with no where to go except a hotel, and who can afford $100/night. Fortunately, my renter’s insurance covered all my expenses, and damages. It really is something not worth risking. You never know how well the landlord is going to take care of your home.

One of the best aspects of renters insurance is that is covers personal property even away from the home.

I have spoken to multiple agents and they agree if I am on vacation and someone steals my property or it is damaged… then it will be covered.

Just for this safety net alone I think renters insurance is worth the cost. We were only paying $23 a month.

How does $23 a month compare to feeling secure while you are on vacation or away from home.

The decision seems easy…

Renters insurance is an absolute must have. The wonderful part about it, is that it is very cheap. When we were renting our first house, we were paying $23 a month back in 2009.

One of the great aspects of renters insurance is that is covers personal property. When speaking with my agent, he told me that even if items are stolen out of my truck, while we were on vacation, they would cover it.

For the price of renters insurance, there is no reason not to have it.

Renters insurance has become one of the most overlooked forms of insurance but is considered one of the most important when you think about what is being protected. It can also be as cheap as around $9-10 a month so it is worth checking into.

An acquaintance accidentally backed into the garage door (instead of going forward). The landlord received payment from the insurance company. The insurance company billed the renter. Landlord’s insurance does not cover the renter.

We were just called out to a fire in Manhattan where the lady did not have a renters policy. Im sure she never thought that she would have a fire in a secure Manhattan Building. Well she did and now she is out about $30,000 in damages. Always have a renters policy.
