What is renters insurance?

Renters insurance is a contract between you and an insurance company that provides financial protection if your personal property is damaged or stolen or you damage the property of others. It’s made up of three types of insurance coverage—personal property, liability, and in most cases, additional living expenses.

How renters insurance works

Renters insurance works much like homeowners insurance, minus the dwelling coverage. In fact, most companies that offer homeowners insurance also offer renters coverage.
