Renters Insurance
Renters insurance helps protect you and your belongings if the unexpected happens. A landlord's insurance policy covers the building, but not your personal things. If you rent an apartment, condo, house, etc., you need renters insurance.

A renters insurance policy can provide coverage for you and your belongings for things like:
- Fire

- Visitor injuries
What items are covered by renters insurance?
Commonly covered items include:
- Electronics and appliances (television, computer, etc.)

If you have a jewelry collection of items like engagement rings, wedding bands, diamond bracelets, etc., you may also need special coverage for these along with your renters insurance policy.
