Document evidencing issuance of an insurance policy and gives a summary of the information given in a certificate of insurance. Many apartment and house renters have asked me if they need insurance for renters, and if they do-- what does renters insurance cover? Well, even if you think you own few possession, all renters should be insured not only to cover your personal possessions but for the all-important liability coverage. Let me explain exactly what it covers.

Renters' insurance coverage has two parts:

1. The first part is 'general coverage' of your personal possessions from theft or damage.

2. The second part is 'liability coverage' against financial loss resulting from injury to a visitor to your home. Depending on your policy, this often includes visitor's medical costs, plus legal and other associated costs should you be sued.

The Landlord's Insurance

Many renters mistakenly believe a landlord's building insurance will cover anything that could possibly go wrong in an apartment building. That is simply not true.

The truth is that landlords' insurance is limited to damage to the building structure and to liability coverage for the common areas, only. Landlord's insurance does not cover your furniture, personal possessions, or damage you might do to the landlords building. You are responsible for your own possessions and the well-being of your apartment or rented house. You are also responsible for liability within your rented home. So you need renters insurance to protect your possessions and liability inside your home.

A Few Points Of Coverage

* Your possessions will be protected from theft and vandalism.

* Your possessions will be protected against damage from specifically named risks such as fire and windstorm.*

* If there is damage to your rented apartment or house and you are not able to live there, many renter's insurance policies will provide for temporary relocation living expenses while repairs are made.

* Your possessions will be protected away from your home, such as items in your car, or items you take with you while on vacation.

* Policies cover "insured risks" which are specifically named in your policy. Insured risks never include flood and earthquake damage. These are considered separate risks that require separate policies.
