What is renters insurance?
While you may not own the apartment, condo, or house you rent near Danville, VA, you are going to want to make sure you and your belongings are covered in an unexpected event like a fire or an accident. A landlord's insurance policy may cover the property, but this does not include your personal belongings. This is where The HILB Group of Maryland, LLC can help with a customized renters insurance policy. Renters insurance keeps your personal items protected from fire, theft, and other types of damages that could occur. A renters insurance policy is also there in the event someone gets hurt on your rental property. Let us help you create a renters insurance quote that makes sense for your specific needs.
How much renters insurance do I need?
The HILB Group of Maryland, LLC is here to answer any questions you may have, including how much renters insurance you might need. Our goal is to make sure you have complete coverage in the event of the unexpected.
There are several different coverages that go into a renters insurance policy. Before you request a quote for your rental property, you should look into how much coverage is required on your end. Here are some basic coverages and types of insurance that are available to you:
Renters content coverage
Keep your electronics, furniture, clothing, and other items protected from covered losses.
Loss of use coverage
In the event you can no longer live in your rental property following a covered loss, this policy provides reimbursement for any additional living expenses you may have.
Personal liability coverage
If someone suffers an injury while visiting your rental property, this coverage helps pay for covered damage or bodily injury.
Medical payment coverage
If a visitor has medical bills because of an injury suffered in your rental property, this coverage may help pay for medical or funeral expenses.
Building additions and alteration coverage
For those looking to improve their rental property, this ensures you are protected from covered damages to additions, alterations, fixtures, or installations.
Credit card coverage
Not only could the physical property in your home be covered with renters insurance, but this coverage pays up to your selected limit for unauthorized transactions on your credit cards and bank debit/ATM card. This also includes forged checks and counterfeit money.
In addition to what is included in a basic renters insurance policy, you'll also have the following options for coverage:
Valuables Plus®coverage
For any high-value items in your rental property like jewelry, watches, or antiques can be included in your coverage.
Water backup coverage
If water backs up from sewers or drains, this optional coverage protects you against loss from this type of damage.
Theft extension coverage
Extra protection could be provided to include personal belongings that are stored in or on a motor vehicle, trailer, or watercraft. For example, if your car is broken into at your rental, this type of coverage will help make sure your property is protected in the event it is stolen.
