You’ve probably heard of homeowners’ insurance, but why do you need to be insured if you’re a renter? Most landlords require tenants to purchase some form of renters’ insurance. This isn’t just to cover their own liability in the event of a claim — renters’ insurance protects tenants, too. Here are a few reasons you should take out a policy if renting in New York. <\/p>\n

Renters’ Insurance Helps Protect Your Possessions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the main purposes of renters’ insurance is to reimburse you for the cost of lost possessions in the event of a break-in. If someone steals your personal property, a renters’ insurance policy helps pay to replace it (as well as for damage to the building itself, such as broken windows or locks). <\/p>\n

It Might Cover Personal Liability<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Many renters’ insurance policies include personal liability coverage. Did someone slip on your icy doorstep? Did you unintentionally harm a houseguest? Renters’ insurance may protect you from liability, which means that you won’t be on the hook for someone else’s medical bills. <\/p>\n

It Might Give You An Extra Place To Stay<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sometimes, the circumstances of your rental can become temporarily unlivable. For instance, a flood could damage your home, or you could encounter a mold problem that makes staying there unsafe. Your landlord will be responsible for repairs, but your renters’ insurance may cover temporary housing until you can safely return home. <\/p>\n
