What Renters Insurance Usually Covers

  • Personal Property: Your furniture, clothing, electronics, and other belongings are protected against damage or loss caused by fire, theft, vandalism, water damage (not flood), and more.
  • Liability Protection: If someone is injured in your rental or you accidentally damage someone else’s property, liability coverage helps with legal and medical expenses.
  • Loss of Use / Additional Living Expenses: If your home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss, renters insurance pays for temporary housing, meals, and other living expenses.
  • Medical Payments to Others: Covers minor medical costs for guests injured on your property, regardless of fault.
  • Optional endorsements can include identity theft protection, replacement cost coverage, and scheduled personal property (for valuables like jewelry or collectibles).

What Renters Insurance Usually Doesn't Cover

  • Renters insurance does not cover flood damage caused by external sources like hurricanes or heavy rain; a separate flood insurance policy is required.
  • It does not cover earthquake damage or losses due to ground movement unless you purchase a specific earthquake endorsement.
  • Damage from pest infestations, such as bed bugs, rodents, or termites, is not covered because it’s considered a maintenance issue.
  • Your roommate’s belongings are not covered unless they are specifically named on your policy.
