Why Is Renters Insurance Important?

If you are a tenant, having renters insurance is one of the most important policies you should have, even if it is not being asked for by your landlord. Renters insurance will safeguard you from perils and other catastrophic damages to your belongings and other potential legal responsibilities.
​
In short, having this type of insurance policy will save you a large amount of money in the event of unforeseen disasters.

Why Is Renters Insurance Essential? 
Renters insurance is worth having because it will safeguard and protect you from unexpected calamities and disasters. With this type of coverage, you will save yourself from unpredictable expenses in the future. 

Renters insurance protects you against: 

1. Personal Property Damage 
   An average renter like yourself has belongings and possessions ranging in value from $20,000 to $30,000. If your personal belongings and properties are damaged or stolen by a covered disaster or peril like fire, your renters' insurance policy will shoulder the losses. 
   
   
2. Personal Liability 
   This type of coverage shoulders the costs and expenses if you are held responsible for property damages or bodily injuries. 
   
   
3. Additional Living Expenses 
   Suppose the apartment or home you are renting becomes uninhabitable because of a particular peril or danger. In that case, your renters' insurance coverage will shoulder you for expenses above your usual overhead. Your coverage will make sure that your budget will remain the same even if you move or stay somewhere else temporarily. 
   
   
4. Medical Expenses 
   This type of coverage shoulder medical bills and other expenses for your guests injured on your property. The limit typically reaches a few thousand dollars. 
   
   You should keep in mind that all of these coverages outweigh the amount you will have to shell out for a policy each year. A basic renters' insurance coverage will shoulder $30,000 in personal property damage and even $100,000 in liability expenses. 

Conclusion
The reason for purchasing renters' insurance is to safeguard you from various unexpected scenarios and events. We highly recommend you to buy one even if most landlords do not always require it. Talk to a professional to find out which policy is the right one for you.
