What Does Renters Insurance Cover?
Renters insurance covers your personal belongings against damage or theft, provides liability protection if someone is injured in your rental, and covers additional living expenses if your unit becomes uninhabitable due to a covered event like a fire. It protects items inside your home as well as belongings stolen from your car or while traveling. Standard policies cover perils like fire, smoke, theft, vandalism, and water damage from burst pipes — but not flooding.
