Why do you need renters contents insurance?

Whether you own it or not, the house or apartment you live in is your home. We all want to protect the belongings that make our house feel like our own special space. Your landlord will more than likely have buildings only insurance, meaning nothing inside of your rented home is covered should anything happen. It’s up to you as the tenant to get renters insurance to protect your belongings.

Renters insurance is also known as contents insurance. You can find more information about renters contents insurance on our dedicated page.There are plenty of instances where you would be relieved to have contents cover in place - if there was a fire in your home, flooding or a burglary, you would be insured against damages or losses to your belongings.
