Why do I need renter’s insurance?
Most apartment complexes and landlords only have insurance that covers the damage to the actual dwelling, which leaves everything of yours—electronics, furniture, clothes, whatever—vulnerable. So, to protect your belongings in case of fire, theft, or damage, a sewer backup, hurricane, tornados, or other event that would damage your belongings, you need your own policy.(Unless, of course, you have the funds to replace everything yourself!)
You will also need liability coverage for damages caused by negligence; your’s or maybe someone visiting or someone there to fix something. For instance, if you accidentally leave the bath tub filling and it overflows into your neighbors’ apartment, you could be found liable for that damage—and required to pay for repairs, medical bills related to the accident, as well as defense costs if they bring a suit against you. Renter’s insurance would cover those costs.
We hope that none these things ever happen to you, but it is better to be prepared then to be sorry later.
