Vermont Renters Insurance For You

Studies show that the majority of Americans that rent a home do not have proper insurance, often believing that they do not have anything worth protecting. If you to lose everything in a fire, would you have the money to replace your furniture, electronics, clothing, appliances, jewelry, and other belongings? The costs for this can easily climb into the tens of thousands of dollars. Renters insurance is an affordable way to help cover these costs in the event of a fire, theft or other loss, while also providing additional benefits.

Renters Insurance Property Coverage

Property insurance is a primary component of renters coverage. Everything from your clothing to your electronics can be covered, to help you recover from a loss. A renters policy has no coverage for the building structure, but some will cover improvements you have made to the space.

Coverage limits for items such as jewelry are often limited and may not be sufficient for your needs. If you have valuables that exceed the coverage limits of your policy, you agent can help you purchase additional insurance to fully protect these items.

There are two types of property coverage policies. With an actual cash value policy, when you suffer a loss, you will receive compensation equal to what your item would actually be worth, taking into account age, condition, and other depreciation factors. If you’d prefer, you can opt for a replacement cost value policy, which will pay for the cost it takes to buy a similar item in new condition. Your agent can help you determine which policy is best suited for your situation.

Liability Protection for Vermont Residents

Your Vermont renters policy can also provide important liability protections. If someone is injured in your rental property due to your negligence, such as slipping on a wet kitchen floor or getting bitten by your dog, your renters policy may be able to help pay for medical costs and legal fees if a lawsuit results. Most policies also provide coverage for accidents that occur outside of your rental property, and can cover the whole family.

Liability coverage can also protect you for damages you may cause to your apartment. If you accidentally start a fire that damages the structure or other units, your policy can help cover the costs of repairs.

When this occurs, you must find a temporary place to live, often incurring expenses beyond your typical living costs. You may also still be required to pay rent or utilities for your apartment. When this situation occurs, your renters policy can help by providing coverage for these additional expenses until repairs are made.

Renting a home can be an affordable a flexible living situation, but it is not without risks. Fires, thefts, accidental injuries, and other events can leave you responsible for tens of thousands of dollars of damages. Speak with your agent about obtaining comprehensive Vermont renters insurance to fully protect your property and finances in the event of a loss.
