Why Do I Need Renter’s Insurance?

For residents new to Muskogee, OK, who are looking for a place to rent, or current residents renting for the first time, a common question is: Why is renters’ insurance a good investment? To answer this question and any others you may have about renters’ insurance, our customer-friendly staff at D & E Insurance Agency is here to explain the benefits you should consider.

Coverage You Can Rely On

Some renters mistakenly believe that insurance is only necessary for those with significant assets, or that the landlord’s policy covers everything. Neither of these assumptions is accurate.

Whether you have many personal possessions or just a few, renter’s insurance can help cover the cost of repair or replacement in the event of theft, fire, vandalism, or other occurrences. Additionally, renter’s insurance may assist with living expenses if your rental home becomes uninhabitable due to a fire, flood, or similar event. It’s important to note that the landlord’s policy covers the building itself, not your personal property. When choosing a rental, check whether the landlord requires renter’s insurance as part of the lease agreement.

Renter’s insurance also protects you in case someone is injured while in your rental property or if you’re responsible for damage to another person’s property. If you have pets that cause injury or damage, a policy can help cover medical bills, repair costs, and even legal fees if a lawsuit arises. Either way, renter’s insurance provides valuable financial protection.
