Renters insurance covers your belongings and liability. Some landlords require it.

Usually covers

  • Your belongings, for events like fire and theft
  • Liability if someone is hurt in your home
  • Extra living costs if your home becomes unlivable after a covered event

Usually not

Flood and earthquake usually need separate coverage. Read the policy and ask questions before you buy.
