Renters Insurance in NJ, NY, and PA

When you rent an apartment, condo, or house, your landlord insures the building but not your personal property. Even if your possessions aren’t extremely valuable, replacing them all at once due to damage such as fire or theft can be very expensive.

Renters insurance eases your worries by covering your personal property, protecting you from a claim resulting from accidental injury to another, and offers additional coverage options for high-value items such as electronics or jewelry.

A renter’s insurance policy is very affordable and will protect you and your belongings. Let us work with you to design coverage for your personal property while you are renting a home or apartment.

How You Benefit from Renters Insurance

In addition to providing broad form protection over personal property, renters insurance provides residents with a host of additional benefits, including:

  • Hotel costs following a disaster
  • Medical expenses for injured guests
  • Accidental damage caused to neighbors
  • Legal fees in the event of a lawsuit
  • Dog bites
  • Items that have been rented or borrowed
  • Off-premises belongings, such as those in your car or a hotel room
