Home > Home Insurance > Rental Property Insurance Rental Property InsuranceAuthor: Josh Riverside Most landlords have insurance on the property they rent, but the people who are renting can and probably should have renter's insurance to protect their property. This type of insurance covers items that are inside a rented property. In simple terms, while the landlord may have insurance for damages to his building, he or she probably does not have coverage for the valuables you have in your rental unit. In the event something happened to the landlord's building and you were displaced for a time, the renter's insurance would also pay for your stay. This type of insurance is also very handy for tenant liability problems. If the tenant is supposed to maintain the property but does not and someone is injured on the premises, it is the tenant and not the landlord who may be liable for this problem. If the renter had insurance, the claim would be covered as long as the tenant is the one responsible for maintaining the area.If the apartment or home you are renting is in a high crime area, it is especially important to have renter's insurance. It will cover all personal items that are stolen from the property. If there have been repeated break-ins in the area, you may have a problem getting insurance, so make sure you check that out before you move into a rental space in a high crime area. Renter's insurance is like homeowners insurance. You pay a monthly or yearly premium, as well as a deductible. The higher the deductible, usually the lower the monthly payments.
