Frequently asked questions

How much renters insurance do I need?

Inventory your belongings (electronics, furniture, clothing, etc.) and choose a personal property limit that covers replacement. Most renters need $20,000-$50,000 in personal property plus $100,000 in liability.

Does my landlord's insurance cover my stuff?

No. Your landlord's policy covers the building structure, not your belongings. If a fire, theft, or water damage destroys your possessions, you'll need your own renters policy to be reimbursed.

Will renters insurance cover my roommate?

Generally no -- each tenant should have their own policy. Some carriers allow roommates on a single policy if both are named, but it's cleaner (and usually similar cost) to have separate policies.
