Renters insurance that follows your stuff
Your landlord's policy covers the building, not your laptop, bike or couch. Renters coverage protects what you own and the liability that comes with living anywhere.
How we approach renters insurance
Most renters underestimate what they own. Add up furniture, clothing, electronics, kitchen gear and a bike, and the total is often $25,000 to $40,000. A kitchen fire or burst pipe upstairs can take all of it.
Renters coverage also includes personal liability, which matters if a guest is injured or you accidentally flood the unit below. Many Cleveland landlords now require $100,000 of liability, and we can send proof directly to your property manager.
What a typical policy includes
Personal property
Your belongings at home, in your car or in a storage unit, at replacement cost.
Personal liability
Guest injuries and damage you cause to others, including legal costs.
Loss of use
Temporary housing and extra costs if your apartment becomes unlivable.
Medical payments to others
Small medical bills for guests injured in your home, regardless of fault.
Theft away from home
A stolen bag at the airport or a bike taken from campus is covered.
Landlord interest notice
We list your property manager so they are notified of changes automatically.
What affects your price
Carriers weigh these differently, which is exactly why comparing several of them pays off.
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Property limit | How much stuff you are insuring. $20k to $40k is common. |
| Deductible | $500 and $1,000 are the usual options. |
| Building type | Sprinklers, alarms and newer construction can lower rates. |
| Location | Local theft and weather claim frequency. |
| Bundling | Adding renters to an auto policy often reduces the auto premium too. |
