A large number of the population rent their homes or apartments. If you are in this group, have you taken the proper measures to protect your belongings? Of course, the best way to do this is with an insurance policy. This kind of insurance is there to cover the person renting the property against the unexpected loss or damage to their possessions. It is not just the renter’s belongings that are covered, depending on the policy chosen, renters’ insurance will also provide coverage against injury or damage that may be incurred to a neighbor’s property, etc. While it may seem like an obvious thing to have, a surprising number of people who rent their homes do not have rental insurance. Why is this?
Perhaps one reason is that the person renting the home believes their possessions are covered under the homeowner’s policy, however, this may not be the case so they should contact the homeowner to find out. Another reason for not having renter’s insurance is that someone may think it costs too much. Many policies are very affordable, though, and some even cost less than 20 dollars a month. There is also the belief that their belongings are not worth anything and so there is no need for coverage but, think about how much replacing those items would cost and it's easy to see how quickly that would add up.
So, if you are renting your home or apartment and still do not have a rental insurance policy, why not start to look at the different policies available to you. It's very likely you will find one that you can afford and that will cover you for those unfortunate unexpected disasters.
