The first coverage is your personal property. All your stuff would have to be replace if the home you are renting burnt to the ground. So, what is the value of all your stuff, good questions and only you can truly provide the answer.

The second important coverage on a renter insurance policy is liability coverage. This will provide coverage for a lawsuit against you within the coverage guidelines. Your landlord in some cases may require they be named as an additional insured just for this coverage.

The owner of the property will have insurance, landlord or dwelling, coverage. They will also have liability coverage as well. The reason they would require to be named is to protect them being named in a lawsuit against you. It’s common practice to name anyone and everyone in arm’s length of the property to make sure the attorney covers everything for their client.

Some carriers have minimum limits of $15,000 or $25,000 and others will just right liability only. But there are ways to get a renter insurance policy almost free.
