Renters Insurance is a great way to protect your personal property from loss. It’s designed for people who rent a home or an apartment because it only covers content and no dwelling or building coverage is provided.
Imagine your fire alarm goes off in the middle of the night and you wake up smelling smoke. You leave the building and help arrives but it’s too late to save your possessions. Everything you own is either destroyed or smoke damaged. Your bedroom set and living room furniture, TV and stereo, computer, everything in your kitchen including your dishes, your coffee pot and microwave are all burned and ruined. What if your clothes including summer and winter, luggage, purses and shoes were all unsalvageable?
Now it’s time to think about starting over and with Replacement Cost Renters Insurance, you have resources to do just that. But not only will Renters Insurance cover you for fire, it also covers:

- Additional Living Expense coverage pays for you to stay somewhere else if you can’t stay at your home or place of residence because of an on-going claim.
- Personal Property Away from Premises covers your items that are damaged while not in your place of residence, such as items in your car.
