Personal Property
Risk Factor
Unpredictable losses can occur to your property due to burglary, fire, water damage, storm, and more.
Solution
Personal property, such as furniture, rugs, TVs, stereos, clothes, and more may be covered under your basic insurance policy. However, items like jewelry, furs, silverware, antiques, collectibles, and other valuables should likely be insured separately.
Limits and Exclusions
Risk Factor
Some types of personal property are subject to limits of coverage under renters insurance policies. These limits vary by the type of property and by what caused the loss or damage. For example, jewelry, bicycles, collectible cards, and coins may have limited coverage or may not be covered.
Solution
Obtain a personal floater or schedule your valuable possessions to ensure you’ll have the money to replace them.
Additional Living Expense
Risk Factor
If the building you live in has a loss from a covered peril under your renters insurance policy that makes your apartment or home uninhabitable, you will need to find somewhere else to live while the repairs are undertaken. This can be expensive and inconvenient.
Solution
Be sure your insurance policy includes additional living expense coverage. If you need to move out and rent another location, this coverage provides for the increase in living expenses–such as moving costs, increased food costs, and other expenses.
Liability
Risk Factor
You are responsible if you or a guest in your unit trips and falls or sustains an injury while on your property.
Solution
Be sure that you have adequate liability insurance to protect for claims made against you for bodily injury or property damage – such as a slip and fall or other allegation. Liability coverage also provides protection should you become legally liable for unintentional bodily injury or property damage anywhere in the world.
Medical Expenses
Risk Factor
You're responsible if a guest is injured while on your property and you may be required to pay their medical expenses.
Solution
Ensure your insurance policy covers this risk. In the event a person is injured in your unit, he or she can submit medical bills to your insurance company. Medical expenses are usually paid without a liability claim being filed against you, with typical limits ranging from $1,000 to $5,000.
Landlord
Risk Factor
You may not be able to rent the apartment or home if your landlord or property manager requires renters insurance and you do not have it.
Solution
Having a renters insurance policy allows you to provide a certificate of insurance to the landlord or property manager showing that you have the coverage required to rent the apartment or home.
Improvements or Betterments
Risk Factor
Any improvements or betterments that you have made to your unit are subject to damage.
Solution
Be sure to obtain coverage for improvements or betterments that you have installed in your apartment or home.
Contents Away from Home
Risk Factor
You may take your valuable property outside of your unit. For example, what happens if your laptop or golf clubs get damaged or stolen while traveling?
Solution
Be sure to add off premises theft coverage to your policy to cover your personal property while your belongings are away from your home. Auto insurance does not usually cover personal property stolen from your car.
Premises Liability
Risk Factor
You may be responsible for damage to your apartment or dwelling should you, for example, have a leaking sink or accidentally start a fire.
Solution
Be sure your policy has liability coverage that includes tenants legal liability or premises liability. Your landlord may require that you to have this type of insurance protection in place as a requirement before renting the property to you.

Renters Insurance Frequently Asked Questions
Check out the FAQs below to learn more about renters insurance from Truliant. If you still have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re ready to answer all your questions and get you started on your coverage!
What does renters insurance do?
There are three parts to renters insurance. The first is coverage for your personal belongings, the second is liability coverage, and the third is loss of use coverage. All of these play an important role in protecting you as a renter since your landlord’s insurance on the property will not cover those risks specific to you.
What does renters insurance cover?
Renters insurance typically provides protection for your personal belongings. When you rent or lease, your landlord’s insurance usually only protects the building itself—not your personal belongings. Renters insurance is the only way to protect your valuables, and it’s very cost-effective, especially with the great rates offered by Truliant’s provider partners. The amount of insurance you need will depend on the value of your possessions so that they can be replaced.
What type of events does renters insurance protect against?
It’s important to know that certain events might be covered, while things like earthquakes and flooding are typically not. Some of the most commonly covered events in a renters policy include theft, fire and smoke, burst pipes, wind, vandalism, lightning and water backup. If you have other concerns, please speak to your Truliant Insurance agent. We’ll do our best to find coverage to meet your needs.
What does renters insurance not cover?
There are a few things that are not typically covered in a renters insurance policy. For example, if you park a vehicle at the rental property itself and it is stolen or damaged, your car usually won’t be covered by renters insurance. Floods or earthquakes require separate coverage that you would need to add to your policy. Also, if you have roommates who are not listed on the renters insurance policy, their personal belongings would not be covered.
How does liability coverage protect you while renting?
Liability insurance protects you from lawsuits related to property damage or if someone is injured while visiting your apartment. You may also want to consider no-fault medical coverage in the event that someone is injured so they can have their medical bills covered. One other factor to know is your limits and the amount of liability coverage you need for your specific risks. Be sure to check your renters insurance coverage details—there will usually be both an overall limit on the payout and a maximum amount for any one renters insurance claim.
Can I get coverage for additional living expenses?
Yes, if the rental property you are living in is destroyed or otherwise uninhabitable after a covered event, you may get a payment for additional living expenses. This safety net can help you recover from such a loss that you would otherwise have to pay for out-of-pocket. This may include coverage for hotel bills, temporary rentals, meals, and other expenses due to loss of use of the property you were renting or leasing.
