Why Renters Insurance is a Smart Move

If you’re renting, you might think your landlord’s insurance covers you—but that’s a common misconception. Renters insurance protects your personal belongings and provides liability coverage in case of unexpected events like theft, fire, or accidents in your rented space.

What Does Renters Insurance Cover?

Renters insurance typically includes:

  • Personal Property Coverage: Protects your belongings from damage or theft.
  • Liability Coverage: Covers legal expenses if someone is injured in your rental space.
  • Additional Living Expenses: Helps with temporary housing costs if your rental becomes uninhabitable due to covered damages.

How Much Does It Cost?

The good news is renters insurance is often affordable, averaging $15–$20 per month. The cost depends on your coverage limits and deductible. To keep your premiums manageable, use the Life Planner app to set a Savings Goal for insurance payments and track your Budget effectively.
