People often mistake landlords insurance with renters insurance. If you are a renter and if you do not have renters insurance, then you will not be able to get insurance benefits in case the following scenarios occur. For example, • A guest comes to your place and slips in the bathroom and gets hurt severely • A sewerage pipe leaks or bursts and damages your belongings • A case of theft occurs Renters insurance will cover each of the points mentioned above and pay the expenses related to the problem. Insurance covers your belongings in the flat. Insurance will pay the expenses due to repair or replacement of the property. Insurance gives cover to you and your family. Insurance also gives cover to your guests and your pets too. A few insurance policies also cover the expenses that occur when you relocate or shift. Insurance gives a renter complete peace of mind.   Renters insurance could be of two types. The first one is called Actual Cash Value Policy. In this type of insurance, if any of your belonging gets damaged, then the value of the item is paid after deducting the depreciation value. Of course the amount should be within the insurance limit.     The second type of renters insurance is called Replacement Cost Policy. According to this type of renters insurance the full amount of the product is paid. It means that you can replace the damaged or stolen product with a new one. Again the amount is paid up to the policy limits.     You need to get a quote, although renters insurance is generally very affordable.
