Renter’s insurance protects the cost of replacement or repair to your possessions if they are stolen or damaged. If your landlord says that their insurance will cover it, you may want to look a little deeper into their policy as it is very common for renter to have to purchase their own rental insurance policy to make sure everything is covered.

These policies can help you replace items if they were to be damaged in fire, natural disaster or stolen. One renter’s insurance policy can sometimes cover more than one renter. This is convenient if you have roommates or a spouse as it can help cover their belongings too.
