Renters insurance covers your belongings, living expenses if your place is damaged, and can protect you from costly litigation or medical bills if you’re liable for someone’s injuries. Get a renters insurance quote, and experts will help explain all your coverage options.
Standard Coverages
Coverage for personal property includes clothing, electronics, furniture, tools, and appliances (even if the items are kept in storage or in your car, at the office or with you on vacation). Your possessions are covered against fire, theft/vandalism, tornadoes, water damage, and more. Keep in mind, you may need to add extra coverage for jewelry or other expensive items. You can add these during the renters insurance quote process or give us a call.
Example: Your place is burglarized, and your television is stolen. Your personal property coverage kicks in to replace the TV, minus your deductible.
If you’re liable because someone is injured at your residence, liability coverage can pay for their medical bills up to the limits of your policy.
Example: You host a party and one of your guests slips and falls in your apartment's party center due to a lack of lighting. Your renters insurance can pay for their medical bills and any court/legal fees if you’re sued.
If your place is damaged and you need somewhere to stay, your renters insurance can pay for your hotel/living expenses and even pays you back for meals (above what you'd normally pay).
Example: Your apartment's roof is damaged and you’re forced to stay in a hotel for a week. You'll be reimbursed for hotel and dining out expenses.
Renters insurance is for anyone renting an apartment, condo, dorm room, house, etc. (if you're a landlord renting out a home, call 1-855-347-3939 for help with a specialized policy).

According to ASI, one of the insurers in Progressive’s network and part of our family of companies, the average renter has $24,500 worth of belongings. If your personal property is stolen or damaged in a fire, your landlord typically won't cover anything. That’s why you need renters coverage to help protect everything you own.
The amount of coverage needed primarily depends on two factors:
Your renters policy won’t cover certain incidents, including damage or injuries resulting from:
Additionally, while your belongings stolen out of your car are covered under renters insurance, the actual vehicle is not.
While landlords likely have an insurance policy in place to cover damage to their rental property, renters insurance protects against damage to the renter’s belongings—which means less liability for landlords if the tenant’s stuff is damaged or a tenant causes damage to another tenant’s unit. Moreover, if there is a fire or significant damage to the rental—causing the renter to live elsewhere while the repairs are made—additional living expense coverage on a renters insurance policy can pay for temporary housing.
Some landlords may require you to list them on your renters insurance policy before you can move in.
Like home insurance, renters insurance policies won’t cover damage from flooding. However, you’re typically covered for water damage to your personal property if it was sudden, accidental and came from the inside of your residence.
