If You Rent, Do You Have Renter's Insurance?
Unfortunately, if you rent, your landlord's insurance policy does not cover your personal property. Renter's insurance provides liability protection against accidents (injuries, property damage), as well as financially damaging events like fires and theft. Compared to the amount of property you could lose in these cases, rental insurance is pretty cheap.
Primer: Renter's Insurance
I bought a renter's insurance policy when I moved into my first apartment out of college, and I've since become a sort of evangelist for the cause. It's so cheap and easy to protect all of your belongings from theft, fire, and water damage, yet most of the renters I know still don't have insurance. (Note: Policies do not cover natural disasters like earthquakes.)
Even if your most prized possessions seem frivolous — a $400 pair of shoes, a portrait of John Krasinksi —that doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to have them replaced.
