Apartment Renters Insurance

Apartment Renters Insurance

If you rent an apartment, you need apartment renters insurance to cover yourself and to cover loss or damage to your personal property.

Your landlord’s insurance only covers the physical building you live in. It does not cover any of your property. You need apartment renters insurance to protect yourself from such hazards as:

* Fire
* Smoke
* Vandalism
* Theft

* Compare the quotes you get
* Investigate the companies to see if they have a reputation for being fair and reliable

Save Money On Your Apartment Renters Insurance

As you look for apartment renters insurance, keep these cost-saving tips in mind:

* If you already have auto insurance, see if you can get a multi-policy discount by placing your apartment renters insurance with the same company. You may even get a discount on your auto insurance!

* Check to see if the insurance company you choose offers any discounts you qualify for, such as a non-smoker’s discount or a senior's discount.

* Check to see if your apartment qualifies for security discounts. Most insurance companies give discounts for security features such as deadbolts, smoke detectors, and burglar alarms.

* Set your deductible as high as you can afford. The deductible is the amount you pay on a claim before your insurance company has to pay anything. The higher you set your deductible, the lower your premium will be. However, make sure you will have enough money to pay the deductible if you ever need to make a claim.
