In case of theft or an emergency, we'll replace what is damaged or stolen - even if it's in your car, at the office, or with you while you're on a trip. Personal property includes electronics, clothing, appliances, and tools. You might be surprised how quickly your belongings add up!
We're there to support you when the going gets tough. If your home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss, renters insurance will cover expenses such as hotel/living, pet boarding, and meals.
This protects you against liability claims as a result of accidental bodily injury or property damage.
This will cover medical expenses for visitors who are injured on your property. For example, if your friend is helping you move in and accidentally trips and breaks their leg in your apartment.
