What Does Renters Insurance Cover?
Many people do not fully understand the concept of renters insurance but just think how many times you in reality rent equipment like a car, motor home, house or even a boat. Rental insurance covers the repair or renewal costs caused by damage or theft of an item you are renting.
For instance, if you don’t own your own home, and are letting instead, you may think that you’re covered by your landlord’s insurance policy plan.
It is true that the landlord will have insurance on his property but it is only for situations where damage is done to the structure itself.
Personal belongings, equipment, fridges, deep freezers, Tv Sets for example are not covered by this policy and if you are not insured they will have to be replaced out of your own pocket. This can be a bigger problem where any damage to the building is a result of your actions at which point any costs will be the obligation of the tenants.
