    Understanding Your Tenant Insurance Coverage

    Tenant insurance typically provides coverage for personal belongings, liability protection, additional living expenses, medical coverage for injuries that occur on rented property, and legal expense coverage. However, the extent of coverage may vary depending on the insurance provider and policy terms.

    Are Roommates Covered by Your Tenant Insurance Policy?

    The answer to whether or not roommates are covered by your tenant insurance policy depends on the policy terms. Some policies may only provide coverage for the actual named insured on the policy. However, many tenant insurance policies allow for roommates to be added to the policy, with coverage extended to those individuals.
