RENTERS INSURANCE
Renters insurance is similar to homeowners insurance, except it does not provide coverage for the dwelling itself. Renters insurance helps protect you, your belongings and expenses associated with temporary living arrangements after a covered loss.
A common misconception for renters is that their belongings are covered under the landlord's insurance policy. This is not true.
A Landlord's policy covers your landlord's building and landlord's provided furnishings. This is where renter's insurance comes in.
