The Importance of Renter’s Insurance<\/strong><\/p>\n

July 7th, 2017\u00a0— Martinson Agency LLC — Chaska, MN<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clients often think they don\u2019t need renters insurance \u2014 \u201cNothing I have is worth that much,\u201d they\u2019ll say, or \u201cI don\u2019t have a lot of stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how most people think of renter\u2019s coverage: protection for stuff, and nothing more. After all, it\u2019s inexpensive and it doesn\u2019t even cover the structure itself. So how important can it be, especially if you don\u2019t think you have anything valuable to protect? You just have to stop thinking only about \u201cstuff.\u201d Here are three key financial protections a renters policy provides:<\/p>\n

Personal Property Coverage:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wait, doesn\u2019t this mean your stuff? Well, yes. But really, this coverage protects your finances. Even if you don\u2019t think you have anything valuable, take a minute and mentally add up everything you own (note that if you do have any high-value items, such as jewelry or heirlooms, you may need additional coverage). Now imagine how much it would cost to replace it all. It\u2019s probably a higher number than you thought \u2014 and that\u2019s why renters insurance is so important.<\/p>\n

Personal Liability Protection:<\/strong><\/p>\n

If someone trips and injures themselves in your unit, they could sue you. If your dog bites one of your guests, they could file a law suit as well. Yes, lawsuits happen \u2014 even among friends. Renters insurance can help cover legal expenses and even judgments against you. (Some dog breeds may disqualify you from coverage, so be sure to inform your agent of all dogs in the household.)<\/p>\n

Loss of Use Coverage:<\/strong><\/p>\n

What would you do if a fire or other issue forced you out of your home? You\u2019d have to find a temporary place to stay, for weeks or even months in some cases \u2014 which might cost you more than your normal rent. Loss of use helps cover that and other additional expenses.<\/p>\n
