Myth #1: Renters Insurance is too expensive.

Truth: For $160 a year, based on a national average,* our policy can provide reasonable protection of your personal property plus it can protect you in case of a liability lawsuit. Convenient payment plans are available.

Myth #2: The landlord's insurance covers me.

Truth: Your landlord's insurance generally only covers the building where you live, not your personal belongings or your personal liability.

What We Cover

What if you were robbed or experienced a fire? Your laptop, books, electronics, collectibles and other items may all be gone.

And you are on your own to replace them. Can your budget afford that?

Renters Insurance probably covers more than you think. Your PC, your MP3 player, your bicycle, your PDA, and much more. It's definitely cheaper than replacing all your possessions.

Stolen or damaged, these are covered by Renters Insurance:

Still Not Sure You Need Renters Insurance?

Consider this fact: In 2006, there were an estimated 6.6 million larceny theft offenses nationwide.*

* www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2006/offenses/property_crime/larceny-theft.html

Imagine the unimaginable. Fire, theft, or hurricane. A grease fire results in several thousand dollars of damage. A guest is injured in your apartment.

These calamities can be expensive for you. What would it cost you to replace ALL your belongings?

Most renters overlook or underestimate their insurance needs. Even the smallest apartment can easily contain personal belongings worth thousands of dollars.

Count the obvious items, like your PC, your stereo, your instruments, and then the less obvious things, like clothing and collectibles, and the potential loss quickly adds up. If faced with such a loss, would you know where to turn or whether your loss would be covered?

With Renters Insurance, you can replace what's damaged or stolen. Renters Insurance covers your possessions against losses from certain disasters (except flooding), vandalism, theft, and more.

Renters Insurance also covers your responsibility to other people unintentionally injured at your home or elsewhere by you or your pet, and it pays legal defense costs if you are taken to court.

Don't realize the importance of Renters Insurance until it is too late. The reasonable premium is well worth the peace of mind.

Is Renters Insurance too expensive? Coverage is typically available for $160 a year, based on a national average, with a deductible of $250.** Convenient payment plans are available.
