A smiling man is illustrated holding an umbrella that says "insurance" across it. It is raining.Sometimes, it can be stressful to rent property when you afraid that you could be held legally and financially accountable to many of the inadvertent disasters that can happen to your home. This is certainly understandable! However, there is a solution that can help renters have a little peace of mind during the duration of their lease. That solution is renters insurance. Most places that rent property to live in will offer renters insurance to their residents. Here’s some of the benefits that renters insurance is able to provide…

Theft insurance

A home invasion can be a very traumatic experience. It is often not just a physical invasion, but an emotional one that can leave the victim feeling very harrowed. While renters insurance can’t reverse that type of damage, it can provide some form of relief by insuring items that are stolen from an apartment, as well as any damage that the thief may have caused to the apartment itself. While some things are irreplaceable, renters can at least be left with less pieces to pick up after a home theft.

Fire insurance

Similar to the instance of theft, a home fire is another experience that can leave an individual feeling drained and incredibly distraught. The difference is that a fire will cause you to lose items of little to no value, as well as ones of high value. On top of that, it can cause a tremendous amount of the damage to the building itself, which can be incredibly costly for a renter to fix. The good thing about renters insurance is that it is able to alleviate the renter of much of the liability of the fire, and can provide a little peace of mind in doing so.

Covers damages

When you live in a place for an extended period of time, it is very likely that some part of that location may be damaged, whether due to a sudden accident, or simply neglect. The point is, this happens. Having renters insurance means that these small damages won’t come back to bite you, later, in the form of astronomical fees after you’ve moved out. Many renters can live life a little more stress free, knowing that they aren’t liable every time there is a scratch on a wall.

Very affordable

On average, renters insurance will typically only cost an addition $15-$30 per month. Ultimately, that’s a small price to pay compared to risking one of the many events that renters insurance is able to cover.
