Renters insurance is one of the most overlooked benefits to a tenant. MANY People lost their personal property due to the storms in 2025.
Many were shocked to find out when an entire home or apartment complex were destroyed, the tenants personal items were not covered by insurance.
This is because the insurance landlords/owners have, protect their property(the building), not the tenants personal property.
****This is not on purpose, this is the law****
There is NO POLICY THAT INCLUDES A TENANTS PERSONAL PROPERTY.
Most renters may add coverage to their existing car insurance policies for $10 per month or less. Or have standalone coverage for $15 per month or less
