What Renters Insurance Covers
Many people think their landlord's insurance will pay to replace their belongings if they're damaged or stolen. Not True. Your landlord's insurance only covers the building and the property your landlord owns, so if you don't have insurance you could lose everything you own.
Renters insurance pays to replace your personal possessions in the event they're stolen, or if they're damaged by fire, water leaks, vandals, or acts of nature. There are two types of coverage:
* Actual cash value coverage which pays to replace your personal possessions, minus a deductions for depreciation.
* Replacement cost coverage which pays the total cost of replacing your personal possessions. If you can afford the extra cost, replacement cost coverage is the way to go.
Renters insurance also pays for court-awarded damages and legal fees if a lawsuit is brought against you and you're found guilty of injuring another person, or damaging their property.
Last, but not least, if your residence is damaged and you need to live elsewhere while it's being repaired, renters insurance will pay for your additional living expenses such as your motel and restaurant bills.
