Tenant insurance, sometimes referred to as renter’s insurance, is a type of insurance policy specifically designed for renters living in a rented property (such as an apartment, condo, or house). It protects renters from financial losses due to unexpected events like theft, fire, water damage, or liability claims from accidents.
Tenant insurance typically covers:
Personal property: reimbursement for lost, damaged, or stolen belongings.
Liability coverage: protection in case you’re found legally responsible for injuries to others or damage to their property.
Additional living expenses: coverage for increased costs of living if you need to move out temporarily due to damage or remediation.
