Houston Renters Insurance 

Do you live in a rental apartment, condo or home in the Houston, Texas, area? If so, do you have renters insurance? Many people wrongly assume that if something were to happen to their rental unit, their landlord’s insurance would pick up the tab. While this is true for the structural components of the unit, it’s not true for your belongings. This means that if there were a fire that destroyed your belongings, you’d be responsible for the cost of replacing your items. A renters insurance policy can help offset some of those losses.

What Is Renters Insurance?  

Renters insurance provides protection against property loss as well as liability if you cause injury or property damage. 

• Liability coverage—Renters insurance can help protect you if you are responsible for injury or property damage to others or if an injury occurs within your rental residence. It also provides coverage for legal defense costs and judgments in a lawsuit, whether the incident occurred within your rented home or elsewhere.

• Property coverage—Renters insurance covers your possessions against damage for incidentssuch as fire, smoke, lightning, vandalism, theft and water damage. It does not, however, cover damage from a flood. It also extends beyond on-premise theft and hazards, covering property that is stolen from your car or property that is lost or damaged anywhere you happen to be.There are typically two personal property coverage options to choose from: replacement cost value or actual cash value.
