Renters Insurance
Coverage for the unexpected moments
Without renters insurance, you are liable for any damages that are caused in your apartment while you live there, even though you don’t own the property. Though an apartment might be temporary, your belongings are not.
Renters insurance provides liability and personal property coverage, so that you can have peace of mind knowing that you’re covered in the event of an accident.
