Renters Coverage – Policy Features

A renter insurance policy provides the following types of coverage:

• Personal property coverage protects your belongings against loss or against damage in your home or elsewhere.
• Personal liability covers claims brought against you by others for their bodily injury or damaged property occurring at your home or elsewhere when you, your covered family members or your household pets are at fault.
• Loss of use covers your additional living expenses if/when you are forced to live elsewhere while your home is repaired/rebuilt after a covered peril loss.

All Renters Policies are not Alike. 

You may purchase coverage with two different valuation methods:

• Actual cash value reimburses the full value of your lost/damaged possessions up to the limit of your policy after deduction for depreciation.
• Replacement cost does not deduct for depreciation.
